    $\begingroup$ Does Solve[x == a Tan[t], t] work for you? $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 12, 2021 at 7:30
  • $\begingroup$ sorry, I use your code and press shift+enter but it just print "solve[x == a Tan[t], t]",maybe my Operation method is wrong, because I am a beginner.... $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 12, 2021 at 7:43

    $\begingroup$ Try replacing the s by an S in solve $\endgroup$

You can solve it in the follwoing way:

Solve[x == a Tan[t], {t}]

The result from the above code is: $ \left.t\to \fbox{$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)+\pi c_1\text{ if }c_1\in \mathbb{Z}$}\right\} $

  • $\begingroup$ emmm....Can you tell me how to learn wolfram? I think I should have more practice. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 12, 2021 at 8:42
  • $\begingroup$ @appleMusic there are many resources available...have you tried looking at the official wolfram site? They have many different introductory methods to learn... $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 15, 2021 at 0:25
  • $\begingroup$ thanks, but the offical site have many advanced tips, may be it is hard for me... $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 19, 2021 at 3:15
