Arctangent

The arctan function allows the calculation of the arctan of a number. The arctan function is the inverse functions of the tangent function.


Arctangent function

The arctan function is the inverse function of the tangent function, it calculates the arc tangent of a number online.

  1. Calculation of the arctangent
  2. To calculate the arctangent of a number, just enter the number and apply the arctan function.

    For example, to calculate the arctangent of the following number 10, type arctan(`10`), or directly 10 if the arctan button already appears, the result 1.4711276743 is returned.

  3. Derivative of arctangent
  4. The derivative of the arctangent is equal to `1/(1+(x)^2)`.

  5. Antiderivative of arctangent
  6. The antiderivative of the arctangent is equal to `x*arctan(x)-1/2*ln(1+(x)^2)`.

  7. Limits of arctangent
  8. The limits of the arctangent exist at `-oo` (minus infinity) and `+oo` (plus infinity):
    • The arctangent function has a limit in `-oo` which is `pi/2`.
      • `lim_(x->-oo)arctan(x)=pi/2`
    • The arctangent function has a limit in `+oo` which is `-pi/2`.
      • `lim_(x->+oo)arctan(x)=-pi/2`

  9. Table of remarkable values
  10. arctan(`-1`)`3*pi/4`
    arctan(`-sqrt(3)/3`)`5*pi/6`
    arctan(`-sqrt(3)`)`2*pi/3`
    arctan(`0`)`0`
    arctan(`sqrt(3)`)`pi/3`
    arctan(`1`)`pi/4`
    arctan(`sqrt(3)/3`)`pi/6`
