please help me. my teacher does not know how to teach.
if sin(v) = 1/2 what is cos(v) and what is tan (v)
|dw:1331065841271:dw|
that is the v symbol idk what its called
It's just v ;)
Draw a triangle. OR use identities: sin^2(v) + cos^2(v) = 1 (1/2)^2 + cos^2(v) = 1 cos^2 (v) = 3/4 cos (v) = +- sqrt(3)/2 to get tan v, use the fact that sin v/cos v = tan v
either take this seriously or gett of my question
*get off
we never learned this. can u please just tell me
What should I tell you? I pretty much gave you the answer there
Horrible—telling you will not help you learn.
What exactly do you think he wasn't taking seriously? He explained exactly how to get your answer. Please be polite to users who are trying to help you.
sorry i didn't see the answer. can u help me with more. and shadow fiend i was talking to you. you can get off my question, thanks.
wait so what for tan?
\[\tan v ={\sin v \over \cos v}\] \[\sin v = {1 \over 2}\] \[\cos v = \pm {\sqrt3 \over 2}\]
what does tan v equal!
Do it yourself.
i don't get how?
I just told you it's sin v / cos v? read my instructions.
one third?
I DONT GET THIS. I SAID MY TEACHER NEVER TAUGHT US AND JUST THREW THIS SHEET AT US
I HATE MY LIFE
Hypothetical question: if A = 1 and B = 2 What is: \[A \over B\]
I KNOW THE ANSWER IS 1/ SQRT 3 BUT I HAVE A BOX OF LIKE A BUNCH OF ANSWERS AND THAT IS NOT ONE OF THEM
Ok, there's one last step then :)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) can be expressed a different way.
It's called “rationalizing” the denominator, and it involves taking square roots out of the denominator.
HOW PLEASE JUST TELL ME I AM LATE FOR WORK
Okay, now here's something you should learn: If there's a square root in the denominator, then you must rationalize the denominator. \[{1 \over \sqrt3} * { \sqrt 3 \over \sqrt 3} = {\sqrt 3 \over 3}\]
In this case, because there's a \(\sqrt{3}\) in the denominator, you can multiply the fraction by \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\), which leaves you with \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}\).
Heh. What slaaibak said ^^ :)
thank u. can i come back in 3 hours and you guys help me more
I may or may not be here, but there will definitely be people here :)
plz take a look at my other question
