Math Problem Statement
solve tan (2pi/3)
Solution
To solve , follow these steps:
-
Convert the angle to degrees (optional): However, since the trigonometric functions can be directly computed in radians, this step is not necessary.
-
Use the reference angle: The angle is in the second quadrant. The reference angle is:
-
Evaluate :
-
Determine the sign in the second quadrant: In the second quadrant, tangent is negative. Therefore:
So, the solution is:
