Explanation:

Remember that tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta)tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ)

You're looking for some angle thetaθ for which sin(theta)/cos(theta) = 0sin(θ)cos(θ)=0

...this occurs whenever sin(theta) = 0sin(θ)=0.

Which happens when theta = 0, pi, 2pi, θ=0,π,2π, (etc.)

For the inverse trig functions, you use only the first angle in this list.

So therefore, you can deduce that tan^-1(0) = 0tan1(0)=0

GOOD LUCK!
