OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Im headed off OS, but ill call someone in here that can help :) @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start by adding 2pi to 3pi/2 what do you get?

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

5pi

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2pi + 3pi/2 4pi/2 + 3pi/2 ???

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

7pi/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that's not on the list

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's go in the other direction and subtract off 2pi from 3pi/2 3pi/2 - 2pi = ??

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

-pi/2?

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

or just pi/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

remember that 2pi = 4pi/2

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so is it pi/2? or -pi/2 ?

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

pi/2 because there isnt a -pi/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3pi/2 - 2pi isn't pi/2 though

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

i know its negative

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3pi/2 - 2pi 3pi/2 - 4pi/2 ???
