Q. The following are all angle measures (in radians, rounded to the nearest hundredth) whose tangent is 3.7.Which is the principal value of arctan(3.7) ?Choose 1 answer:(A) −4.98(B) −1.83(C) 1.31(D) 4.45
Use Calculator or Table: To find the principal value of arctan(3.7), we need to use a calculator or a trigonometry table because the value is not one of the common angles.
Calculate arctan(3.7): Using a calculator, we find that arctan(3.7)≈1.31 radians.
Determine Principal Value Range: The principal value of an arctan function is the value between −2π and 2π, which is between approximately −1.57 and 1.57 radians.
Verify Principal Value: Since 1.31 is within this range, it is the principal value.
