Trigonometric functions Help! I'm lost here...

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well you are given two lengths, why not use tanA?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

TanA=4/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because that's not on the multiple choice, or is it? I seriously do not understand these principles...

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

reason being because the problem is not finished \[tanA=4/5\] \[\tan^{-1} (tanA)=\tan^{-1} (4/5)\] \[A=\tan^{-1} 4/5\] Plug that into a calculator and that should give you your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so this one is tan^(-1) 5/7, right?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so they switched this one up on me. so would it be tan^(-1) 5/4?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Correct again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES!!! *happy dance* thank you so much. You have no idea how long i have been trying to figure these things out. *e-hug*

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

ha, you're welcome ^_^'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what about this one?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Use sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! I worked that one out, do you know how to do these? I'm stuck on this one.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

it's a sinx graph: 2sin(x+.5Pi)+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, what about this one?
