find tan(-x) if cot (pi/2 -x)=-1.84

Answer 1

To find tan(-x), we can use the fact that tan(-x) = -tan(x).

Given that cot(pi/2 - x) = -1.84, we know that tan(pi/2 - x) = 1/cot(pi/2 - x) = -1/(-1.84) = 0.5435.

Since tan(pi/2 - x) = cot(x), we have tan(x) = 0.5435. Therefore, tan(-x) = -tan(x) = -0.5435.
