Solving a trigonometric equation involving an angle multiplied by a constant

Mathematics

PIT_PIT [208]1 year ago

In these questions, we need to follow the steps:

1 - solve for the trigonometric function

2 - Use the unit circle or a calculator to find which angles between 0 and 2π gives that results.

3 - Complete these angles with the complete round repetition, by adding

2k\pi,k\in\Z

4 - these solutions are equal to the part inside the trigonometric function, so equalize the part inside with the expression and solve for <em>x</em> to get the solutions.

1 - To solve, we just use algebraic operations:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}\tan (3x)+1=0 \\ \sqrt[]{3}\tan (3x)=-1 \\ \tan (3x)=-\frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}} \\ \tan (3x)=-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3} \end{gathered}

2 - From the unit circle, we can see that we will have one solution from the 2nd quadrant and one from the 4th quadrant:

The value for the angle that give positive

+\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3}

is known to be 30°, which is the same as π/6, so by symmetry, we can see that the angles that have a tangent of

-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3}

Are:

\begin{gathered} \theta_1=\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{5\pi}{6} \\ \theta_2=2\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{11\pi}{6} \end{gathered}

3 - to consider all the solutions, we need to consider the possibility of more turn around the unit circle, so:

\begin{gathered} \theta=\frac{5\pi}{6}+2k\pi,k\in\Z \\ or \\ \theta=\frac{11\pi}{6}+2k\pi,k\in\Z \end{gathered}

Since 5π/6 and 11π/6 are π radians apart, we can put them together into one expression:

\theta=\frac{5\pi}{6}+k\pi,k\in\Z

4 - Now, we need to solve for <em>x</em>, because these solutions are for all the interior of the tangent function, so:

\begin{gathered} 3x=\theta \\ 3x=\frac{5\pi}{6}+k\pi,k\in\Z \\ x=\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{k\pi}{3},k\in\Z \end{gathered}

So, the solutions are:

x=\frac{5\pi}{18}+\frac{k\pi}{3},k\in\Z

Events A and B satisfy the conditions shown P (A)=0.3 P (B)=0.1 P (A and B)=0.03 What statement about the two events must be tru
Sliva [168]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A)=0.3

P(B)=0.1

P(A)×P(B)=0.3×0.1=0.03

P(A and B)=P(A)×P(B)

They are independent.

Geometry Helps please<br> (Only correct Answers only please) Thank you!
Elza [17]

Answer:

37.68 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a cone, the formula is:

V = π x r² x ( h / 3 )

Simply input the corresponding numbers into the equation:

V = π x ( 2 )² x ( 9 / 3 )

V = π x 4 x ( 3 )

V = π x 12

V = 3.14 x 12

V = 37.68 units³

If we use 3.14 for pi, the answer comes out to 37.68 units³

Lins father is paying $20 for a meal. He has 15%-off coupon for the meal. After the discount, 7% sales tax is applied, How much
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: $18.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax is applied after the discount so first find the discounted price:

= Price * ( 1 - discount rate)

= 20 * ( 1 - 15%)

= $17

The sales tax of 7% can then be applied:

= Price * ( 1 + tax rate)

= 17 * ( 1 + 7%)

= $18.19
