Given:

The terminal point of
$\phi$ is (1,0).

To find:

The value of
$\tan\phi$ .

Solution:

If the terminal point of
$\theta$ is (x,y), then

$\tan \theta=(y)/(x)$

It is given that the terminal point of
$\phi$ is (1,0).

Here, x-coordinate is 1 and the y-coordinate is 0. Using the above formula, we get

$\tan \phi=(0)/(1)$

$\tan \phi=0$

Therefore, the value of
$\tan \phi$ is 0.
