Question

If the terminal point of ø is (1,0), what is tan ø?

Answer 1

Given:

The terminal point of
`\phi` is (1,0).

To find:

The value of
`\tan\phi`.

Solution:

If the terminal point of
`\theta` is (x,y), then

`\tan \theta=(y)/(x)`

It is given that the terminal point of
`\phi` is (1,0).

Here, x-coordinate is 1 and the y-coordinate is 0. Using the above formula, we get

`\tan \phi=(0)/(1)`

`\tan \phi=0`

Therefore, the value of
`\tan \phi` is 0.
