What is arctan(6)?

Answer

arctan(6) ≈
80.5377° ≈ 1.4056 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(6) is the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = 6.

tan 80.5377° ≈ 6.0000

α = arctan(6) ≈ 80.5377°

P ≈ (0.1644, 0.9864)

T(1, 6) is where line OP meets the line x = 1, beyond the drawing (the arrow points to it); highlighted: tan α = 6.
