Find the Value of tan 1800°?

Answer 1

#tan1800^@=0#

As tangent ratio has a cycle of #180^@# and #tan0^@=0#, the tangent ratio of any multiple of #180^@# is always #0#, hence

#tan1800^@=0#

The value of ( \tan(1800^\circ) ) is undefined because the tangent function has a period of 180°, meaning it repeats every 180°. Therefore, ( \tan(1800^\circ) ) is equivalent to ( \tan(180^\circ) ), which is undefined because the tangent function has vertical asymptotes every 90 degrees, including at ( 180^\circ ).
