arctan(x)+arccot(x) = pi/2

#

@meager bloom

#

so

#

x = x

#

we want the result of cot(...) equal the result of tan(...)

pearl yacht
#

...no?

#

Wait, maybe.

#

Yeah, I guess.

#

Actually, wait, this is just always true.

glacial topaz
#

so as I hinted and you discovered, we can do that by doing pi/2 - tangent_angle

#

the tangent_angle is just arctan :)

#

@meager bloom are you here?

meager bloom
#

yes

glacial topaz
#

do you get it or nah?

#

cause it's a liiiiiiiiiittle tricky

meager bloom
#

idk never used it

#

i give up on that sht

glacial topaz
#

me neither I think

#

I rediscovered it now

#

when you said pi/2 - theta anyway

#

look, what is arctan(x)?

pearl yacht
#

This is true for all x.

@meager bloom

glacial topaz
#

sorry

#

but just shush

#

I am helping Akaz

pearl yacht

i cant deal with this hst anymore

#

just fck it

glacial topaz
#

bruh

#

just calmly

#

let's do this

#

cmon

meager bloom
#

i have microbiology sht i need to read

pearl yacht
glacial topaz
#

that's a good way to do it

#

geometric instead of algebraic

#

maybe it'll help

pearl yacht
#

That's why it's called the "co"tangent.

#

Because it's the tangent of the complementary angle.

glacial topaz
#

@meager bloom tell us if helped
