The arctan function allows the calculation of the arctan of a number. The arctan function is the inverse functions of the tangent function.

Arctangent function

The arctan function is the inverse function of the tangent function, it calculates the arc tangent of a number online.

Calculation of the arctangent

To calculate the arctangent of a number, just enter the number and apply the arctan function.

For example, to calculate the arctangent of the following number 10, type arctan(`10`), or directly 10 if the arctan button already appears, the result 1.4711276743 is returned.

Derivative of arctangent

The derivative of the arctangent is equal to `1/(1+(x)^2)`.

Antiderivative of arctangent

The antiderivative of the arctangent is equal to `x*arctan(x)-1/2*ln(1+(x)^2)`.

Limits of arctangent

The limits of the arctangent exist at `-oo` (minus infinity) and `+oo` (plus infinity):
• The arctangent function has a limit in `-oo` which is `pi/2`.
`lim_(x->-oo)arctan(x)=pi/2`
• The arctangent function has a limit in `+oo` which is `-pi/2`.
`lim_(x->+oo)arctan(x)=-pi/2`
