The smallest positive angle in the first quadrant whose tangent is 1 is 45° or. You can add 180° or to this angle as many times as you like. That will put it in the 3rd quadrant, where the tangent is also positive if you add an odd number times 180° or , and back into the first quadrant if you add an even number times 180° or . Answer: If in degrees, 45° + 180°n If in radians, , where n is any integer, positive, negative or zero. Edwin
