what is the value of x to the nearest tenth ... tan xdegrees= 90

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

take the arctangent of both sides and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tan(x) = 90 arctan( tan(x) ) = arctan(90) x = arctan( 90 ) x = ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you would then use a calculator to compute the arctangent or inverse tangent of 90

im still confused i am totally new to this

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you have a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you type arctan(90) in degrees you get this https://www.google.com/search?q=arctan%2890%29+in+degrees&ie=UTF-8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
