Question

TRIGONOMETRY:
Solve the equation for all degree solutions and if
0° ≤ θ < 360°.
sqrt(3) tan theta - 1 = 0

Answer 1

\[\sqrt{3} \tan \theta - 1 = 0\]

Answer 2

can you isolate tan theta first ?
start by adding 1 on both sides :)

Answer 4

Yes, but I can't figure out what to do after that. \[\tan \theta = 1/\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 5

there is a standard angle for which tan theta is 1/sqrt 3

do u have unit circle with you ?

Answer 6

Answer 7

I pulled up the unit circle, but I don't see \[1/\sqrt{3}\] anywhere on it.

Answer 8

because you only see sin and cos in unit circle...
and tan = sin/cos

so search for the angles where ratio is 1/sqrt 3

Answer 9

y co-ordinate/ x co-ordinate should equal 1/sqrt 3

Answer 10

I already had one pulled up with tan on it. Oh, but I didn't simplify.
\[1/\sqrt{3} = \sqrt{3}/3\] right?

Answer 11

yes.

Answer 12

could u find the angles ?
try pi/6 ?

Answer 13

sin pi/6 = ...?
cos pi/6 =...?

tan pi/6 = sinpi/6 / cos pi/6 = ... ?

Answer 14

in degrees, pi/6 is 30 degrees

Answer 15

I have the angles: 30, 60, and 240. But my homework is telling me that I'm wrong.

Answer 16

how come 60 and 240 ?
did you look for 210 ?

Answer 17

Oops, nevermind! Wrong column. I'll fix it.

Answer 18

Okay, I got it this time! Thanks! :)

Answer 19

welcome ^_^
