Question 3 • IC Pre-Cal - Deering

Which expression has the same value as tan(–45°)?

Answer
A
tan(45°)
B
cot(135°)
C
–sin(270°)
D
–cos(180°)

Explanation

Since tangent is an odd function, tan(–45°) = –tan(45°) = –1. Also, tan(135°) = –1, so cot(135°) = 1/tan(135°) = –1. Therefore, cot(135°) has the same value as tan(–45°).
