In Exercises 59–62, use a calculator to find the value of the acute angle θ in radians, rounded to three decimal places. tan θ = 0.4169
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify that the problem requires finding the acute angle \( \theta \) such that \( \tan \theta = 0.4169 \). Since \( \theta \) is acute, it lies between 0 and \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians.
Recall that to find an angle from its tangent value, you use the inverse tangent function (also called arctangent), denoted as \( \tan^{-1} \) or \( \arctan \). This function returns the angle whose tangent is the given number.
Set up the equation \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(0.4169) \). This means you will use a calculator to find the angle \( \theta \) in radians.
Make sure your calculator is set to radian mode before calculating \( \tan^{-1}(0.4169) \), as the problem asks for the angle in radians.
Use the calculator to find the value of \( \theta \), then round the result to three decimal places to get the final answer.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Inverse Tangent Function (arctan)
The inverse tangent function, denoted as arctan or tan⁻¹, is used to find an angle when the tangent value is known. It returns the angle whose tangent equals the given number, typically in radians or degrees. For tan θ = 0.4169, θ = arctan(0.4169).

Radian Measure of Angles
Radians are a way to measure angles based on the radius of a circle, where 2π radians equal 360 degrees. Using radians is common in calculus and higher mathematics. The problem requires the angle θ to be expressed in radians, rounded to three decimal places.
