Which value is a solution for the equation tan(x/2)=1? Please explain. Thank you!

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

im going to go with A because... hold on one second.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

this shows x/2 = "1" key number is 1 so... that is this is going to be equal to just x in it itself.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

so.. now you have just tan x/2 which i believe tan is pi

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

so practically its 2 times 1 in the donominaor and that = 2

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Thanks but is there anyway to check it?

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

then you have tan still which is pie

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

ok let me see...

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

yes, you can work backwards :]

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

plug each answer with the eqaution and test to see which fits. :}

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

hope this helped.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

yeah thanks so you think it is A.?

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Could I plug them in at http://www.wolframalpha.com/

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

yes i would still have you check it because im not a perfect man but based off my calculations A seems correct.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

sure that might work too conversion cites are great. :}

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

Thank you for your help and time!

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

no problem.
