solve it like a quadratic equation
u = tan x
--> 3u^2 +5u +2 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I tryed it but I couldnt get any silution
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
were you able to factor it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no :(
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
ok do you know the quadratic formula?

yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i did it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is either -5+ squr1/6 or
it is either -5- squr1/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that right ?
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
haha nevermind i misread your answer

yeah after u solve it it will come up to
-5+ squr1/6 or
it is either -5- squr1/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hahahahahaha
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
ok well sqrt(1) is just 1 so you get
-4/6 = -2/3
-6/6 = -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do u know what is the exact value for x and what is the approximate value ?
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
to find that we need to sub back in tan(x) for u
\[\tan(x) = -2/3\]
\[\tan(x) = -1\]
