| - | Note that for $\tan \theta$, 90° and 270° ($\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ rad) are **undefined** as you cannot divide by zero((x values, or $\cos \theta$ is equal to zero in these two situations)). | + | Note that for $\tan \theta$, 90° and 270° ($\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ rad) are **undefined** as you cannot divide by zero((x values, or $\cos \theta$ is equal to zero in these two situations)). When calculating inverse trig functions, the solution is restricted between I and IV for $\sin$ and $\tan$, and I and II for $\cos$. |
