Find the Exact Value tan(0 degrees )

Problem

tan(0)

Solution

1. Identify the definition of the tangent function in terms of sine and cosine.

tan(θ)=sin(θ)/cos(θ)

2. Substitute the given angle 0 into the trigonometric functions.

tan(0)=sin(0)/cos(0)

3. Evaluate the sine and cosine of 0 using the unit circle, where the coordinates at 0 are (1,0)

sin(0)=0

cos(0)=1

4. Simplify the fraction by dividing the values.

tan(0)=0/1

tan(0)=0

Final Answer

tan(0)=0
