Hello,

tg( \frac{a}{2} )=\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{1-cos(a)}{1+cos(a)} } \\
=\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{ \dfrac{2}{3} }{ \dfrac{4}{3} } } =\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{1}{2} } =\pm \dfrac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} \\

+\ if\  \dfrac{a}{2}\  in\ 1\ quadrant\ (or \ 3)}\\

-\ if\  \dfrac{a}{2}\  in\ 2\ quadrant\ (or \ 4)}\\

Multiply the equation 2x+2y=8 by 3. Does the equation have the same solution set?
stepan [7]

Multiply the equation:

2x+2y=8 \mapsto 6x+6y=24

The solution set is the same, because multiplying both sides of an equation by a non-zero number doesn't change the solution set. In fact, if you rewrite the equation as

2x+2y-8=0

Multiplying this by 3 (or whatever number, for all it matters) gives

3(2x+2y-8)=0

Now, a product is zero if and only if at least one of the factor is zero. So, either 3=0 or 2x+2y-8=0

Since the first is clearly impossible, the second one must be true, which is the original equation.
