solve abs(tanx)=1 ? would it be tan(x)=1 tan(x)=-1 and then the pi values?

OpenStudy (freckles):

It is like solving tan^2(x)=1 which give the two equations tan(x)=1 or tan(x)=-1

OpenStudy (freckles):

And yeah |f(x)|=f(x) or -f(x) depending our values of x in which f is positive or negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no interval asked in the question so would it be like x = 3pi/4 +-pik?

OpenStudy (freckles):

Well that is one equation...there should be another

OpenStudy (freckles):

wait that should be fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the one for tanx = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for tanx = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant -1

OpenStudy (freckles):

yeah we need the one for tan(x)=1 also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i think i got it thank you :D

OpenStudy (freckles):

I would have said x=pi/4+npi , -pi/4+npi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i got 3pi/4 +-pik and pi/4+-pik

OpenStudy (freckles):

same thing

OpenStudy (freckles):

my presents any integers (not just positive) you don't need +/- unless you want your k's to be nonnegative integers

OpenStudy (freckles):

I was talking about my n represents any integer*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:O i didnt know that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

OpenStudy (freckles):

But you can leave it that way It is fine
