Question
Find the principal values of: $\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})$

Answer

(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 $\frac{\pi}{3}$.
