As we know \tan^{-1}\left ( \tan x \right ) =x

If x \epsilon \left ( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ). which is the principal value range of \tan^{-1}x.

So, as in \tan^{-1}\left (\tan\frac{3\pi}{4} \right );

\frac{3\pi}{4}\notin \left ( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right )

Hence we can write \tan^{-1}\left (\tan\frac{3\pi}{4} \right )   as :

\tan^{-1}\left (\tan\frac{3\pi}{4} \right ) = \tan^{-1}\left (\tan\frac{3\pi}{4} \right) = \tan^{-1}\left [ \tan(\pi - \frac{\pi}{4}) \right ] = \tan^{-1}\left [ \tan (\frac{-\pi}{4}) \right ]

Where -\frac{\pi}{4} \epsilon \left ( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right )

and \therefore \tan^{-1}\left (\tan\frac{3\pi}{4} \right )=\tan^{-1}\left [ \tan (\frac{-\pi}{4}) \right ]=-\frac{\pi}{4}
