    What is arctan(−0.3)?

    Answer

    arctan(−0.3) ≈
    −16.6992° ≈ −0.2915 rad

    Range: arctan x is an angle strictly between −90° and 90°, so the answer is unique.

    ≈ — the value is not a table one; rounded to 4 decimal places.

    arctan(−0.3) is the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = −0.3.

    arctan(−0.3) = −arctan(0.3) ≈ −16.6992°

    tan(−16.6992°) ≈ −0.3000

    xyOP

    α = arctan(−0.3) ≈ −16.6992°

    P ≈ (0.9578, −0.2873)

    T(1, −0.3) is where line OP meets the line x = 1; highlighted: tan α = −0.3.

    FAQ

    What is arctan(−0.3)?

    arctan(−0.3) ≈ −16.6992° ≈ −0.2915 rad

    Why is arctan(−0.3) ≈ −16.6992°?

    arctan is an odd function: arctan(−x) = −arctan x. So arctan(−0.3) = −arctan(0.3) ≈ −16.6992°, and this angle lies in the range (−90°, 90°).

    Why does a calculator show −0.2915 for arctan(−0.3)?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD) and gives the angle in radians: arctan(−0.3) ≈ −0.2915 rad. In degrees (DEG) it is ≈ −16.6992°.
