If θ = Arc tan(-1), find angle θ. Is the negative sign dropped when inverse?

OpenStudy (df001):

|dw:1430195430500:dw|

rvc (rvc):

correct :)

rvc (rvc):

no wait whats ur question?

OpenStudy (df001):

um sorry, my question was if you are inversing a negative number, do you drop the negative sign

OpenStudy (df001):

as shown, if you are doing Arc tan(-1), being that, that is inverse of tan(-1), you drop the negative sign on 1 thus, tan^-1(1)?

OpenStudy (df001):

or in other words, inverse of tan(1) ?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

when you are dealing with negative numbers using inverse trig, it means your angle will actually lie in different quadrants. So, |dw:1430196946321:dw|
