    What is arctan(−√3/3)?

    Answer

    arctan(−√3/3) =
    −30° = −π/6

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

    arctan(−√3/3) is the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = −√3/3.

    arctan(−√3/3) = −arctan(√3/3) = −30°

    tan(−30°) = −√3/3 ✓

    xyOP

    α = arctan(−√3/3) = −30°

    P(cos(−30°), sin(−30°)) = (√3/2, −1/2)

    T(1, −√3/3) is where line OP meets the line x = 1; highlighted: tan α = −√3/3.

    FAQ

    What is arctan(−√3/3)?

    arctan(−√3/3) = −30° = −π/6

    Why is arctan(−√3/3) = −30°?

    arctan is an odd function: arctan(−x) = −arctan x. So arctan(−√3/3) = −arctan(√3/3) = −30°, and this angle lies in the range (−90°, 90°).

    Why does a calculator show −0.5236 for arctan(−√3/3)?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD) and gives the angle in radians: arctan(−√3/3) = −π/6 ≈ −0.5236 rad. In degrees (DEG) it is −30°.
