See explanation and the wholesome Socratic graph.

The FCS generator is #y =tan ( x - y )#. Inversely,

#x = y + kpi + tan^(-1)y, k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ..#.

At #y = 1, x = kpi + pi/4 +1, k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ..= 1.76539,....#.

#(dx)/(dy) = 1 + 1/( 1 + y^2 )

#y' = 1/(dx)/(dy). And so,

#y' = ( 1 + y^2 )/( 2 + y^2 ) = 1 - 1/( 2 + y^2 ) in [ 1/2, 1).#

#= 2/3#, at y = 1, and so,

#the inclination of he tangent to the x-axis is

#tan^(-1)( 2/3 ) = 33.69^o = 33^o 41' 24''#, nearly. See graph for this

tangent #(y-1) = 2/3 (x-1.7654 )#
