Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0∘≤θ<360∘.tan(349∘)tan(□∘)
Periodicity of Tangent Function: Understand the periodicity of the tangent function. The tangent function has a period of 180°, which means that tan(θ)=tan(θ+180°). We can use this property to find an equivalent angle for 349° that is within the range of 0° to 360°.
Find Equivalent Angle: Find an angle equivalent to 349° that is within the range of 0° to 360°.Since 349° is less than 360°, we can subtract 180° to find an equivalent angle within the desired range. So, we calculate 349°−180°=169°.
Express as Function: Express tan(349°) as a function of the equivalent angle.Using the equivalent angle found in Step 2, we can express tan(349°) as tan(169°).
