find the values of x in the interval [0,2π] |tanx|=1
You can also think of it as: \(\left| \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } \right|\) if it makes it easier
I have to go, so it's x = \(\frac{ \pi }{ 4 }\) and x = \(-\frac{ \pi }{ 4 }\)
how it comes π/4
\[tanx=1 \therefore x= \frac{ \pi }{ 4 } \] in radians, or 45degrees Test it out on your calculator tan 45
if it is given that
\[0\le x \le 2\pi\] then the answer would be
\[\frac{ \pi }{ 4 } and \frac{ 5\pi }{ 4 }\] or 45 degrees and 225 degrees
How oit comes 5π/4
is that absolute of tanx=1?
If so \[tanx=\pm1\] since absolute values are always positive regardless of what answer the function provides
between 0 and 2pi is the same as between 0 and 360degrees when you convert radians into degrees
first of all just find for what values tanx=1|dw:1364971682810:dw| from this we must find the value for which tanx=1/1 for 45degrees opposite side=1 adjacent side=1 therefore tan45=1
here is the part where positive and negative plays its role since both positive and negative 1 are both answers for \[\left| tanx \right|=1\] we must find the angles for which tanx=+or-1 on the unit circle
|dw:1364972178146:dw| Each function is positive in their respective quadrants, with the exception of the first quadrant where every function has a positive outcome. If we were to find tanx=-1 then we would find the angle for the 2nd and 4th quadrant given by 180-45 and 360-45 where the angle is 45 since tan45=1 By doing this you will find the angle for which tanx=-1 which is 135degrees and 315degress
But because we are finding \[tanx=\pm1\] we must find angles for which tan is both 1 and -1, we've already found the angles for -1 now we just have to find the angles for tan=1
using the unit circle we find the angles for tanx=1 in the first and 3rd quadrant as such the angles would the 45 and 180+45=225
