Mark the tick against the correct answer in the following
The value of $\tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{7 \pi}{6}\right)$ is
A. $\frac{7 \pi}{6}$
B. $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
C. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
D. none of these
To Find: The value of $\tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{6}\right)\right)$
Now, let $x=\tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{6}\right)\right)$
$\Rightarrow \tan x=\tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{6}\right)$
Here range of principle value of $\tan$ is $\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{7 \pi}{6} \notin\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
Hence for all values of $x$ in range $\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$, the value of
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \left(\frac{13 \pi}{6}\right)\right)$ is
$\Rightarrow \tan x=\tan \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\left(\because \tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{6}\right)=\tan \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right)$
$\Rightarrow \tan x=\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)(\because \tan (\pi+\theta)=\tan \theta)$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}$
