This is when you would use tan^-1

#

Or tangent inverse

#

You’re trying to find x

#

And you know the value of tan x

#

so if im finding x i use tan-1 but if im finding a length like Hypo then I use tan ?

vast burrow
#

Uh for hypo you’d usually use sin or cos or if you have both sides except the hypo just Pythagoras theorem

#

so how would I know when to use tan / cos / hyp -1 ?

#

vise versa

#

Basically $\tan^{-1}(\tan x)=x$ for $-90<x<90$

#

Where x is in deg

sorry still a bit confused why is money involved 🤣

vast burrow
#

You use tangent inverse to find x
