Question

Could someone please help me with sqrt(3) tan2x=0

Answer 1

what do you want to do with it?

Answer 2

solve for x

Answer 3

\[\sqrt 3 \tan (2x) = 0\]
first step divide both sides by \(\sqrt{3}\) what do you get?

Answer 4

x = 0 or x = 180

Answer 5

so tan2x=-1/sqrt(3)

Answer 6

nope. \[\tan (2x) =\frac {0}{\sqrt3}\]
now simplify this

Answer 7

oh dear! sorry i didnt realise! The question is sqrt(3) tan2x+1=0

Answer 8

sorry!

Answer 9

haha..then you're right \[\tan(2x) =-\frac{1}{\sqrt 3}\]

Answer 10

now second step. take the arctangent of both sides

Answer 11

ok so pi/6?

Answer 12

remember that negative sign...and it's not yet over

Answer 13

how does the negative affect it?

Answer 14

well it doesnt affect that much

Answer 15

how do you mean?

Answer 16

oh ok so when you say take the arctangent, where do you go from there?

Answer 17

so \[2x = -\frac{\pi}{6}\]
now you divide both sides by 2

Answer 18

ok so x= =pi/12

Answer 19

-pi/12
