Question
Find the value of the expression ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\tan \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)$.

Answer

${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\tan \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)$
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\tan \frac{{4\pi - \pi }}{4}} \right)$
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\tan \left( {\pi - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)} \right]$
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left[ { - \tan \frac{\pi }{4}} \right]$
$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\tan \left( { - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$
$ = - \frac{\pi }{4}$
