Question

FAN + MEDAL HELP PLEASE...........!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer 3

@tkhunny @aaronq

Answer 4

\(\bf tan(x)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan^{-1}[tan(x)]=tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\right)
\\ \quad \\
\measuredangle x=tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\right)\)

Answer 5

im confused can we work it out together.

Answer 6

well... .is pretty straight there..... keep in mind that the opposite side to an angle, is the side that's "facing it off"

and the other will be the adjacent one... usually the smaller side of the remaining two

Answer 7

tan0=8/15

Answer 8

recall your SOH CAH TOA http://www.mathwarehouse.com/trigonometry/images/sohcohtoa/sohcahtoa-all.png :)

Answer 9

yes 8/15 is right... so then you'd just get the \(\bf tan^{-1}\) to both sides

Answer 10

keep in mind that \(\bf tan^{-1}[tan(whatever)]=whatever\)

Answer 11

0=tan-18/15?

Answer 12

yes, thus \(\bf tan(x)=\cfrac{8}{15}\implies tan^{-1}[tan(x)]=tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{8}{15}\right)
\\ \quad \\
\measuredangle x=tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{8}{15}\right)\)

Answer 13

how would i put in in numerical and round to the nearest hundereth?

Answer 14

well.. what did you get?

Answer 15

do you just divide 8/15?

Answer 16

well.. nope.. notice the inverse Tangent function there

Answer 17

can you explain it please?

Answer 18

check your scientific calculator...it'd have a button that looks like \(\bf \huge [tan^{-1}]\)

Answer 19

0.5904?

Answer 20

if it helps you remember SOH CAH TOA, Some Old Hippie Caught Another Hippie Tripping On Acid.

Answer 21

well.. I think you mean tan(8/15) you want \(\bf [tan^{-1}]\)

Answer 22

0.00930?

Answer 23

swagmaster47 you sound like wanting to redo the good ol` groovy days =P

Answer 25

0.489?

Answer 26

hmm well....is not that

Answer 27

hmmm

Answer 28

......

Answer 29

I see what happened

you're correct, that is the inverse tangent of 8/15 HOWEVER
your calculator is in Radians mode

so it'd be 0.489 radians, yes

Answer 30

is that the answer?

Answer 31

yes.... unless you want the Degrees instead
and then you'd do the same, just make sure your calculator is in Degree mode

Answer 32

ok thanks

Answer 33
