Solving a trigonometric equation involving an angle multiplied by a constant

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

Across which axis was point A reflected​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

When point A with coordinates (0, -1) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point A', the coordinates of A' will be (0, 1).

i.e A'(0, 1) is the image of point A after a reflection.

Hence, point A is reflected across the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we reflect a point A across the x-axis, the value of 'y' gets negated, but the value of 'x' remains unchanged.

In other words, when point P with coordinates (x, y) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point P', the coordinates of P' will be (x, -y).

Thus, the rule is:

P(x, y) → P'(x, -y)

Thus, when point A with coordinates (0, -1) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point A', the coordinates of A' will be (0, 1).

i.e A'(0, 1) is the image of point A after a reflection.

Hence, point A is reflected across the x-axis.

What is 0.888 into a fraction, is it over 100ths or 1,000's?
Bingel [31]

Thanks for using Brainly!

0.888 = 111/125 = 88.8percent

I just gave you 0.888 is it's fraction and percentage.

First, 111/125 is the simplified answer and is over the 100th and is not big enough for the 1,000's.

Second, 111/125 as a percentage is 88.8%.

Have a great day.

Answer:

The answer is A. 10b = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if it's $10 per book and the total cost is C. Then you would multiply the amount of books with the cost per book and have it equal the the total C.
