Answer: x=0.6435011
Explanation:
Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation to extract
x
from inside the tangent.
x
=
arctan
(
3
4
)
Evaluate
arctan
(
3
4
)
.
x
=
0.6435011
The tangent function is positive in the first and third quadrants. To find the second solution, add the reference angle from
π
to find the solution in the fourth quadrant.
x
=
(
3.14159265
)
+
0.6435011

The period of the
tan
(
x
)
function is
π
so values will repeat every
π
radians in both directions.
