OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the tangent, multiply by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think using calculas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol \[x=\arctan(\frac{y}{3})\] \[\tan(x)=\frac{y}{3}\] \[y=3\tan(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. but what happened to the arctan??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is gone, because i took the tangent of both sides

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

switched the y and x places. tan is opposite opperator of arctan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan(\arctan(x))=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
