Question

Find all values of t in [0, 2π] for which cot^2t=3

Answer 1

cot^2t=3

tan^2 t = 1/3

Answer 2

Hope now u can do it

Answer 3

Where did you get tangent?

Answer 4

Tangent is just the reciprocal of cotangent.

Answer 5

So, if
cot x = a (a not being equal to zero, of course0
then
tan x = 1/a

Answer 6

So am I supposed to solve both?

Answer 7

no. Whichever is easier to you, solve that. They are basically the same equation, anyway.

Answer 8

I got 0.524

Answer 9

Can you help with another?

Answer 10

Wait, what?
How did you get that?
