Find the Exact Value tan(2)
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the tangent of 2 radians.
Determine if the value can be simplified using standard trigonometric identities or special angles. Since 2 radians is not a multiple of
π or a standard reference angle (likeπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 , it cannot be expressed in a simpler radical form.Conclude that the exact value is represented by the expression itself, as any decimal approximation would not be exact.
