Why is tangent's period 180 degrees?

1 answer:

3 0

In order for tan x = 0, sin x must be = 0
sin x = 0 at 0 degrees and 180 degrees 
so, tan x = 0 at 0, pi 
as for the period being pi, you need to have tan x be negative and positive 
so remember the acronym All students take calculus ( ASTC) for where they are positive. 
tan x is negative in Quadrant II and positive in Quadrant I, since it just repeats after that, the period therefore must be Pi.

How are inequalities and equations alike and different?

wel

Inequalities and equations are alike in that they both involve two sides of a sign (whether it is an equal sign or an inequality sign) being compared. For example, both y = x + 2 and y > x + 2 are just ways of comparing the values of x and y.

They are different in that equations give a set number of definite answers (such as x = 2 and y = 3), while inequalities give an infinite number of answers (such as every number from 3 to infinity). Equations give a definite value to a variable, while inequalities give infinite possibilities, cutting out the regions that are impossible.
