    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 }​​
