Question

If tanθ=2.6 then tan (-θ)=

Answer 1

-0.6016

Explanation:

tanθ=2.6 - θ

tan2.6 = -0.6016

tan 2.6 = -0.6016

tan 2.6 radians = -0.6016

Answer 2

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-2.6

Discussion:

Tan(@) is an odd function so

tan(-@) = -tan(@) = - 2.6

Recall tan(@) = sin(@)/cos(@) and sin is an odd function whereas cos is an even function. Hence their quotient, tan, is an odd function.

Thank you,
