Question

tan x=5

Answer 1

\[Tan(x)=5\]
First we have to apply the inverse operation on both sides of the equality in order to isolate the desired variable:
\[\tan^{-1} (\tan (x))=\tan^{-1} (5)\]
\[x=\tan^{-1} (5)\]
Now, you have to plug that into your calculator and when writing the solution, make sure to include the perdiod of trigonometric identity.
