m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only the second three is under the radical

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(3tan^2(2x)-4\sqrt{3}tan(2x)+3=0\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is correct

OpenStudy (loser66):

if I let tan (2x) = t and replace to it, what do we have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking there, what are we replacing? haha sorry

OpenStudy (loser66):

|dw:1387762095362:dw|

OpenStudy (loser66):

I let tan (2x) =t, so, wherever I see tan (2x) I put t there. Got me so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, you're substituting... alright i get that

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, now I have a quadratic, solve it, what do you have for t? I rewrite it for you \(3t^2 - 4\sqrt{3}t +3=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I put it in the quadratic formula, I got x=1.73 and x=0.58

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, it's t, not x, however, you know it, that's ok plug it back to tan (2x) = t first value: t = 1.73, so tan (2x) = 1.73 ---> 2x = arctan (1.73) =59.97 degree so x = 59.97/2 = 29.99 degree do the same with t = 0.58

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, t=.58=30.11 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divided by 2 = 15.06

OpenStudy (loser66):

I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, now we have to figure what those numbers are in radians, right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

why do you have to do it? your prof ? but if you have to, it's not hard.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I have to write out my solutions to the equations in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry. Did not notice that the problem was posted 8 days ago. Refer to the attachment from Mathematica.
