Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} .\newlinetan(174) \tan \left(174^{\circ}\right) \newlinetan() \tan \left(\square^{\circ}\right)
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem and the range for θ\theta. We need to express tan(174)\tan(174^\circ) in terms of a different angle that is within the specified range of 00^\circ to 360360^\circ. Since 174174^\circ is already within this range, we need to find an equivalent angle that has the same tangent value but is not 174174^\circ itself.
  2. Find Reference Angle: Find the reference angle for 174°174°. The reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis. Since 174°174° is in the second quadrant, its reference angle is 180°174°=6°180° - 174° = 6°.
  3. Determine Equivalent Angle: Determine the equivalent angle with the same tangent value.\newlineThe tangent function is positive in the first and third quadrants and negative in the second and fourth quadrants. Since 174174^\circ is in the second quadrant and we want a different angle, we can use the angle in the fourth quadrant that has the same reference angle, which is 3606=354360^\circ - 6^\circ = 354^\circ.
  4. Express in terms of tan: Express tan(174°)\tan(174°) in terms of tan(354°)\tan(354°).\newlineSince tan(θ)=tan(θ+180°)\tan(\theta) = \tan(\theta + 180°) for all θ\theta, and 174°174° and 354°354° differ by 180°180°, we have tan(174°)=tan(354°)\tan(174°) = \tan(354°).
