Question

bahrom? whats the deal with converting tan=0.25 to degrees or radians? with or without a calculator?

Answer 1

whn u hav a calculator, solve with it simply.

Answer 2

ohh radians to degrees?

Answer 3

hehe

Answer 4

Okay look, here's the thing:
pi radians = 180 degrees

Answer 5

yes...

Answer 6

what do u mean.. i actually dont really get the question.. u wanna convert radians to degrees?

Answer 7

well im trying to understand this q:
Use your calculator to determine (in both radians and degrees) the values for (theta), where 0 (less than or equal to) (theta) < 2, that satisfy the following equations.
i) tan (theta) = 0.25

Answer 8

oh im meant to use arctan

damn

Answer 9

Oh do this command:
Tan inverse (0.25) =

Answer 10

\[\tan(x)=.25\] are you trying to find x? first off as a function, tangent is a function of numbers, not "degrees" or "radians". if you want to find one value for x, use a calculator and find
\[\tan^{-1}(.25)\]
if your calculator is in "degree mode" it will give you an angle measured in degrees whose tangent is .25

Answer 11

otherwise if your calculator is in "radian" mode it will give you a number whose tangent is .25. this number corresponds to an angle measured in "radians" but it is just a number.

Answer 12

oh awesome

that just blew my mind.
