Find the principal values of: $\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})$
A
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
✓
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
(b) : Let $\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=\theta \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\sqrt{3}=\tan \frac{\pi}{3}$ $\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{3} \in\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ $\therefore$ Principal value of $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$.
