F(x) = cot x PRE CALC HELP PLS?!
1 answer:
Check the picture below.
is it even? well, even functions use the y-axis as a mirror, so a pre-image on the right-side, will be a mirror of the image on the left-side, but in this case it isn't so, if you put a mirror right on the y-axis, the left-side will look a bit different.
does it have a zero at x = 0? well, just look at the graph, is the line touching the x-axis at 0? nope.
does it have an asymptote at 0? well, surely you can see it right there.

<h3>Answer: 73</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Check out the diagram below. Note the pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent (each 37 degrees). Then focus on triangle ABC. With the reference angle being at A, this means we use the tangent function because BC = x is the opposite side and AB = 97 is the adjacent side.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = BC/AB
tan(37) = x/97
97*tan(37) = x
x = 97*tan(37)
x = 73.094742859971
For the last step, you'll need a calculator that can handle trig functions. Make sure the calculator is in degree mode. The result here is approximate. This rounds to 73 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
