Find the value of tan (-1125°).
Question

Find the value of tan (-1125°).

A.

1

B.

-1

C.

0

D.

1/2

Correct option is B

Given:

​Angle: 1125-1125^\circ​​

Concept Used:
To simplify angles greater than 360360^\circ​ (or less than 360-360^\circ​), we reduce them by using the property of periodicity. The tangent function is periodic with a period of 180180^\circ​.
This means:
tan(θ+180n)=tan(θ)\tan(\theta + 180^\circ n) = \tan(\theta) 
for the period of 90090^0 
tan(900n+θ)=cotθ\tan(90^0n + \theta) = \cot \theta ​
Where n is an integer. 
tan(θ)=tanθ\implies\tan ( - \theta) = -\tan \theta  

Solution:

Thus, the value of tan(11250)=1\bf{\tan(-1125^0) = -1 }​​
