OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it \[\tan 4 ??\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or \[\tan ^{4}x\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
latter one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok,take \[\tan^4x=y^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y^(2)+2y-3=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait a minute, i lost my calculator...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then \[\tan^2x=y\] and the equation is \[y^2+2y-3=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=1/-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tanx=1 x=45
tanx=-3 x=.....

yep,so x=\[\tan^-1 (-3)\] use calculator.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i lost my calculator..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-71.565 Degrees
-1.249 Radians
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:) it is -71.565 Degrees ,but \[\Theta>0\] so it will be 180 degrees-71.565 Degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
180-(-72.565)=252.656?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
also (360-71.565 )Degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no,180+(-72.565) degree
OpenStudy (anonymous):
these are the choices::
A. 45, 135 only
B. 45, 225 only
C. 45, 60, 225, 240
D. 45,120,225,300
E. 45,135,225,315
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think there is some problems with the answers.. cause , when \[\tan \alpha=\tan \beta \]
\[\alpha=n \pi+\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
beta

hartnn (hartnn):
hey, tan x is not -3
tan^2 x = -3
hartnn (hartnn):
so, discard that
tan^2 x = 1
tan x = 1 , tan x = -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh,yeah yeah @hartnn is correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh, yes....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
45 and 180-(-45)=225

hartnn (hartnn):
you know why tan^2 x = -3 is discarded ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cause it will be imaginary
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh, imaginary number?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes,
\(\tan x = \sqrt{-3}= i\sqrt{3}\)
so no real solution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay...

hartnn (hartnn):
so what all angles you got finally ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
45,225
hartnn (hartnn):
thats only for tan x = 1
what about tan x = -1 ?
hartnn (hartnn):
or, did you get why we need to also solve tan x = -1 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
135

i know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
315
hartnn (hartnn):
135 and ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
45,135,225,315 ?

welcome ^_^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and i want to ask how to many how many roots are theere in a function
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean....like this:
For 0°≤θ≤360°, how many roots does the equation sinx(cosx+2)=0 have?
hartnn (hartnn):
ok,
sinx(cosx+2)=0
sin x = 0 (how many values of x in 0 to 360 ??)
cos x +2 =0
cos x = -2 (how many values of x in 0 to 360 ??)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 for sinx=0
hartnn (hartnn):
are 0 and 360 considered different ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0, 180, 360
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i want to ask how can i press sin-1 in this website ?

i mean 0 and 360 are same angle,
