solving for y again... tan(3y+2)=x^2+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have so far y=1/3((x^2+5)/tan-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this question you would have to do a bit of trig. First to get rid of the tan on the left side you have to do the tangent inverse to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would actually be y=(1/3)tan^/1(x^2+5)-2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have the right answer but wrong notation. Parenthesis make a big difference. It should be Y=(tan^-1(x^2+5))/3-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont forget the -1 in the exponent. Its the inverse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the whole equation would be subtracted by 2 not just (x^2+5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah so it should look exactly like this. \[Y=(\frac{ \tan^{-1}(x^2+5)}{ 3})-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect :) thank you again!
