Find the Exact Value tan(4)

Problem

tan(4)

Solution

1. Identify the input value. The expression is tan(4) where the number 4 is assumed to be in radians because there is no degree symbol.

2. Determine if the value is a standard angle. The value 4 radians does not correspond to any of the common reference angles (such as 0 π/6 π/4 π/3 or π/2 found on the unit circle.

3. Check for simplification. Since 4 is not a multiple of π or a standard fraction of π the expression cannot be simplified into a more basic radical or integer form.

4. State the exact value. In mathematics, the "exact value" of a non-standard trigonometric ratio is the expression itself.

Final Answer

tan(4)=tan(4)
