Solve: tan(x) = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inverse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan-1(7)=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan (\pi x / 180) = 7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=81.87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=81.87 degrees

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\large \tan(x) = 7\] x is our angle measurement so in order to find it, we take the inverse function that helps us solve for just x. \[\large \tan^{-1}(7) = x\] putting this into your calculator, you will get \[\large x \approx 81.8698 \approx 81.9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \[\tan(\frac{ \pi x }{ 180 }) = 7\] for then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Except the 7.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I think that tells you for whatever value of x you input, you're going to get an angle measurement of tan
