Answer: 4-\pi

Hint: The range of principal value of  \tan ^{-1} is \left [ -\frac{\pi }{2} ,\frac{\pi }{2}\right ]
Given:  \tan ^{-1}(\tan 4)

Explanation:

As       \tan ^{-1}(\tan x)=x \text { if } x \in\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] 

But here x=4  which does not belongs to above range

            \begin{aligned} &\tan (\pi-\theta)=-\tan (\theta) \\ &\tan (\theta-\pi)=\tan \theta \\ &\tan (4-\pi)=\tan (4) \end{aligned}

Now,     4-\pi \in\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]

Hence,  \tan ^{-1}(\tan 4)=4-\pi
