Answer

The domain of $~~tan^{-1}(tan~x)~~$ is all real numbers except $\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi~n,$ where $n$ is an integer. The range of $~~tan^{-1}~(tan~x)~~$ is $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$ We can see a sketch of the graph of $~~tan^{-1}~(tan~x)~~$ below. Since the functions in Exercise 77 and Exercise 78 have different domains and ranges, the resulting graphs are not the same.

Work Step by Step

$y = tan^{-1}(tan~x)$ The domain of $~tan~x~$ is all real numbers except $\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi~n,$ where $n$ is an integer. The range of $tan~x$ is all real numbers. The domain of $~~tan^{-1}x~~$ is all real numbers Therefore, the domain of $~~tan^{-1}(tan~x)~~$ is all real numbers except $\frac{\pi}{2}+\pi~n,$ where $n$ is an integer. The range of $~~tan^{-1}~x~~$ is $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$ Therefore, the range of $~~tan^{-1}~(tan~x)~~$ is $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$ We can see a sketch of the graph of $~~tan^{-1}~(tan~x)~~$ below. Exercise 77: $y = tan(tan^{-1}~x)$ The domain of $~~tan^{-1}x~~$ is all real numbers The range of $~~tan^{-1}~x~~$ is $~~(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$ Therefore, the domain of $~~tan(tan^{-1}~x)~~$ is all real numbers. On the domain $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$, the range of $tan~x$ is all real numbers. Therefore, the range of $~~tan(tan^{-1}~x)~~$ is all real numbers. Since the functions in Exercise 77 and Exercise 78 have different domains and ranges, the resulting graphs are not the same.
