Question

Evaluate tan^-1(95) to 2 decimal places in degrees. If necessary, use 3.1416 as an approximation to pi.

Answer 1

`\begin{equation*} θ\approx1.56 \end{equation*}`

1) We can get started by evaluating the arctangent of angle 95º:

`\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^(-1)(95) \\ θ=1.56027 \end{gathered}`

Note that since this is not a recurrent angle, there are no values in terms of pi. So we can tell the answer is:

`θ\approx1.56`

2)This is the answer to the nearest hundredth.
