Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question:
If x < 0, then write the value of in terms of tan–1 x.
Given x < 0
⇒ -∞ < x < 0
Let x = tan θ
⇒ -∞ < tan θ < 0
Multiplying by -2,
⇒ -π < -2θ < 0
We know that
Put tan θ = x
Since x = tan θ
⇒ θ = tan-1 x
