HELP ! Please
@goformit100
have a look at this unit circle http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/math/algtrig/ATT5/600px-Unit_circle_angles_svg.jpg and tell me which angle you think makes tan(x) = sqrt(3) true
Thats confusing ?
have you seen the unit circle before
if this is the first time, then I recommend studying it
No this isnt my first time
ok if you were to divide the y coordinate of the point at x = 30 degrees by the x coordinate, what do you get?
Give you please give me an calculator so i can get the answer. My calculator went dead.
you can use wolfram alpha http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arctan%28sqrt%283%29%29
i got 120
no the angle is between 0 and 90
look on that page I sent you and look for the section "Conversion from radians to degrees:"
I got it. It's 60
yep
Can you help me with 3 more
sure
you there ?
I would use this identity tan^2 = sec^2 - 1 so the equation turns into sec^2(theta) - 1 = (-3/2)*sec(theta) now let z = sec(theta) to get z^2 - 1 = (-3/2)*z 2z^2 - 2 = -3z 2z^2 + 3z - 2 = 0 Now solve for z and tell me what you get
Will this give me my answser ?
it will lead you up to it, so kinda
tell me what you got for z
