We have to prove that the tangent is an odd function.

If the tangent is an odd function, the following condition should be satisfied:

\tan(t)=-\tan(-t)

From the figure we can see that the tangent can be expressed as:

We can start then from tan(t) and will try to arrive to -tan(-t):

\begin{gathered} \tan(t)=\frac{\sin(t)}{cos(t)}=\frac{y}{x} \\ \tan(t)=\frac{-(-y)}{x}=\frac{-\sin(-t)}{\cos(-t)} \\ \tan(t)=-\frac{\sin(-t)}{\cos(-t)} \\ \tan(t)=-\tan(-t) \end{gathered}

We have arrived to the condition for odd functions, so we have just proved that the tangent function is an odd function.

The population of a town increased by 10% per year in 2009, 2010, and 2011. If the population of the town at the beginning of 20
Bogdan [553]
If the population was 40,000 at the beginning of 2009, at the end of 2009 it has increased by 10% and became 44,000.

By the same way, at the end of 2010, it became 44000 + \frac{44000*10}{100} = 48400

At the end of 2011, the population was 48400 +  \frac{48400 * 10}{100} = 53240

8/9=x+1/3(7) how to solve
Debora [2.8K]
Do 1/3 x 7 (due to the parentheses which mean multiplication). Once you get that answer you should have 8/9 = x + (answer). Now subtract that answer from 8/9 and that's your x!
