Question

Approximate each value to the nearest thousandth.
a. tan 13º      b. sin 289º

blockcolder · Answer

For tan(13), use a linear approximation (Calc I topic).
For sin(289), I have no idea. :D

type in your calculator, write the answer to the nearest thousandth

australopithecus · Answer

This isn't calculus this is just simple computation of numbers using a device, although if you could use calculus to estimate these values it doesnt state in the question to use it

blockcolder · Answer

Oops. Didn't think about that. I tend to think calculus first. :D

australopithecus · Answer

Yeah well if we didnt have calculators we could use calculus so your answer is still valid you could use linear approximation for both of these

you would just have to have a lot of time to burn
