Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0∘≤θ<360∘.tan(324∘)tan(□∘)
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to express tan(324°) as a function of a different angle within the range of 0° to 360°. To do this, we can use the periodic properties of the tangent function and the fact that it is negative in the fourth quadrant, where 324° lies.
Find reference angle: Find the reference angle for 324°. The reference angle is the acute angle that the terminal side of the angle makes with the x-axis. For an angle in the fourth quadrant, the reference angle is 360°−θ. So, the reference angle for 324° is 360°−324°=36°.
Use reference angle: Use the reference angle to express tan(324°). Since tan(θ)=tan(θ+n⋅180°) for any integer n, and the tangent function is negative in the fourth quadrant, we can express tan(324°) as −tan(36°).
