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

Find the period.

Tap for more steps...

π

The period of the

tan

(

x

)

function is

π

so values will repeat every

π

radians in both directions.
