THE EXACT VALUE OF:

tan 270degrees

1 answer

The tangent function is defined as the ratio of the sine to the cosine of the angle.

For \( 270^\circ \):

  • The sine of \( 270^\circ \) is \( \sin(270^\circ) = -1 \).
  • The cosine of \( 270^\circ \) is \( \cos(270^\circ) = 0 \).

Since the tangent function is given by:

\[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \]

we can plug in the values:

\[ \tan(270^\circ) = \frac{\sin(270^\circ)}{\cos(270^\circ)} = \frac{-1}{0} \]

Since division by zero is undefined, we conclude that:

\[ \tan(270^\circ) \text{ is undefined.} \]
