Question

Find the four smallest positive numbers theta such that tan(theta)=-1

Answer 1

in degrees these would be: 135, 315, 495, 675

Answer 2

what about radians?

Answer 3

multiply each of them by pi/(180 degrees)

Answer 4

i dont understand

Answer 5

\[135^o \cdot \frac{\pi}{180^o}\]

Answer 6

180 degrees = pi radians
1 degree = pi / 180 radians

Answer 7

\[\frac{3 \pi}{4}\]

Answer 8

for the first one

Answer 9

all i did was multiply it by pi/(180 degrees)

Answer 10

ok thanks

Answer 11

\[\frac{3\pi}{4}\] and since tangent is periodic with period
\[\pi\] you get the others by adding
\[\pi\] repeatedly to
\[\frac{3\pi}{4}\] and to hell with degrees.

Answer 12

and i know you know what multiply means lol
i just couldn't figure out what you couldn't understand about what i said

Answer 13

couldn't figure out what degrees had to do with this problem

Answer 14

thanks

Answer 15

spend more time converting back and forth for no reason. the other day i saw someone write
\[\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}+180)\]for petes sake!

Answer 16

lol
