About this document

Proving Tangent x > x Using MVT by Vinayak Jha is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The document shows how to use the Mean Value Theorem to prove that tangent(x) is greater than x for values of x between 0 and pi/2. 2) It reviews the form of the Mean Value Theorem and applies it to the functions f(x) = tangent(x) on the interval from 0 to x. 3) By showing that the derivative of tangent(x), which is secant^2(c), is always greater than 1 on the interval from 0 to pi/2, it proves that tangent(x) is greater than x, as required.
