Find the Exact Value tan(0)

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 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 sin(0)=0 and cos(0)=1

tan(0)=0/1

4. Simplify the fraction to find the final result.

tan(0)=0

Final Answer

tan(0)=0
