Question

x + y = 90 degrees; tan(x) = 14.504
What is tan(y)?

Answer 1

Get The value of x from Tan(x)^-1=14.504
then substitute with that value in the equation x+y=90 ,hence you get the value of y subsitiute in tan(y)

Answer 2

Arctan of 14.504 = x

Answer 3

I get that tan(y) = 3.865599773 rounding to 3.866 when I enter the answer, it is wrong.

Answer 4

How did you get tan(y) = 3.866?

Answer 5

well. I did 90 - 14.504 = 75.496. Next I did tan(75.496) = 3.866

Answer 6

But x doesn't equal 14.504, tan(x) does.
Using the acrtangent function
tan^-1 (14.504) = x

Answer 7

okay. I get 86.05589836

Answer 8

so, does y= 90-86.05589836?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

so y = 3.94410164 then do I take the tan of that?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.

Answer 13
