Help me solve this!
@jim_thompson5910
when k = 1, what is the value of 7/18 + k/3 ?
13pi/18?
yes, I took out the pi's temporarily but you have the right idea
you'll do the same for other positive whole numbers for k until you get to 2pi (you stop if you go over 2pi)
How do I know when i've reached 2pi? (that's probably a silly question but I don't know xD)
2pi = 6.28 approximately evaluate each of the fractions you get and see if they are smaller than 6.28
so 37pi/18 would be too large already?
37pi/18 = 6.45771823237901 so yes it's too big
It didn't like this answer D:
it says at the top "round your answers to 3 decimal places where appropriate" so maybe they want them in decimal form?
hm ok. Should the 7pi/18 be in that box too, or no?
the decimal form of it, yes
hmm wait, if k = -1, then 7/18 + k/3 = 1/18 so pi/18 is part of the solution set as well pi/18 = 0.17453 is in the interval [0,2pi)
ah, ok, i'll try that. Because it didn't like that last answer either even in decimal.
It still doesn't like it D: idk how many more tries I have. If any.
so you tried the exact form? with pi/18 included?
ai, I don't have any more tries actually -.- No, I didn't :/
well i tried the decimal form with pi/18 included
I see. You either would do everything in decimal form or in exact fraction form (keeping pi intact)
Yeah, i'm thinking maybe they wanted it in exact fraction form. Ah, well.
