Name four angles whose tangent equals 0.
Look at the graph of a tan function https://www.google.com/search?q=tan(x)&oq=tan(x)&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1589j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 when does it seem like it goes to 0?
Hint: it's periodic, meaning that once you find the distance between two points of 0, that number multiplied by a integer (n) will give you another 0
It's 0 at (0,0), but look to the left or right to the next point where the graph is 0, how far is it from 0?
45°, 135°, 405°, 495°
0°, 180°, 360°, 540°
Did you take a look at the graph of tan(x)?
yes
90°, 450°, 810°, 1170°?
Ok, now how far is the next 0 from either side?
10?
So now you know that pi(n) where n is any integer gives you an integer. And I know you know how to convert pi radians to degrees so that'll be whatever it is in degrees(n) and look at your answers accordingly
so 3.14 divided by the answer
naw i"ll show you
To convert from radians to degrees or vice versa Rad-->Deg \[\Huge Rad~value~\times\frac{180}{\pi}\] Deg-->Rad\[\Huge Deg~value~\times\frac{\pi}{180}\]
With that being said, we have pi radians (the distance) an =d if we convert to deg\[\Huge \pi~\times\frac{180}{\pi}=180\]
so 180n are all the values for when tan(x) is 0 n=any integer (......-2,-1,0,1,2,.....)
0°, 180°, 360°, 540°
@raijuenea1 did you get all that?
yes i got it thank you
