This can be solved by using "approximations", an application of derivatives.
It is important to have knowledge about derivatives and functions before solving problem.
First, you need to keep this formula in your mind: f(a+h) ≈ f(a) + h. f'(a). You may look up the proof for convenience
The problem: tan46=?
Now,
Step 1:
Let f(x) be your function.
Here, your function is tan(x). So,
f(x)=tan(x)
Step 2:
f'(x) --> derivative of f(x)
∴f'(x)= sec²x
Step 3:
Let 'a' be your number, rather the convinient number which is close to the standard angles.Here, it is 45, as tan(π/4)= 1
∴a=45°=π/4 radians.
Note: the angles need to be in radians and NOT in degrees for calculation.
Let 'h' be the remaining value to be added/subtracted (here added) to the 'a' to get the required number.
∴h=1° = 0.0175 radians
∴a+h= 46
Step 4:
Now, substituting values of 'a' , 'h' inplace of 'x' in f(x) in step 1.
f(a)=tanπ/4=1
f'(a)=sec²π/4= 2
f(a+h)= f[tan(45+1 )]= tan 46
Step 5:
Finally substituting all the values from step 3&4 in the formula:
f(a+h)≈f(a)+h.f'(a)
f(a+h)≈ 1+0.0175(2)≈ 1.035
