Given tan 0 = -5/12 determine the possible values of 0 to the nearest hundreth

So what I did is find that tan-1(5/12) equals 0.35. Then because tan can be negative in quadrants 1 and 3 subtract 0.35 from pi and then from 2pi.

So I got 2.79 and 5.933 I'm not sure if this is right or not though

tan is negative in quads II and IV

but your numbers seem right?

tan^-1(5/12) = .3948
