tan((-pi)/3)

tan (\frac{- π}{3})

- 3

Decimal Notation

- 1.73205 \dots

Solution steps

tan (\frac{- π}{3})

Simplify

= tan (- \frac{π}{3})

Use the following property:

tan (- x) = - tan (x)

tan (- \frac{π}{3}) = - tan (\frac{π}{3})

= - tan (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

tan (\frac{π}{3}) = 3

tan (\frac{π}{3})

tan (x)

periodicity table with

= 3

= - 3
