A student claims that \(\tan^{-1}(\tan(3\pi/4))=3\pi/4\). What is the correct evaluation of this claim?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The claim is incorrect; the correct value is \(-\pi/4\), because the principal value of \(\tan^{-1}\) lies in \((-\pi/2,\pi/2)\).

\(\tan(3\pi/4)=-1\). Since the principal-value range of \(\tan^{-1}\) is \((-\pi/2,\pi/2)\), \(\tan^{-1}(-1)=-\pi/4\), not \(3\pi/4\). Exam tip: always check the principal-value range before cancelling inverse functions.
