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
