thank you for the information
but where is the question??????
This revolves around exact trig values - no easy way to say this, you just need to memorise them. They are there for sin cos and tan, but I will give you the main tan ones below - note this is RADIANS (always work in them when you can, everything is better):
tan0: 0
tanpi/6: 1/sqrt(3)
tanpi/4: 1
tanpi/3: sqrt(3)
tanpi/2: undefined
Now we just need to equate -2pi/3 to something we understand. 2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round a circle, so -2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round the circle going backwards (anticlockwise), so on a diagram we already know it's in the third quadrant of the circle (somewhere between pi and 3pi/2 rads).
We also know it is pi/3 away from pi, so we are looking at sqrt(3) or -sqrt(3) because of those exact values.
Now we just need to work out if it's positive or negative. You can look up a graph of tan and it'll show that the graph intercepts y at (0,0) and has a period of pi rads. Therefore between pi and 3pi/2 rads, the values of tan are positive. Therefore, this gives us our answer of sqrt(3).
Y = -2 x - 9
3 x - 4(-2 x - 9 ) = -8
3 x + 8 x + 36 = - 8
11 x = - 44, x = - 4
y = 8 - 9 , y = -1
This is a unique solution, the system is independent.
Lets start with the chain of 3's:
18 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
But, we know that
3 + 3 = 2 + 2 + 2
Sol, let's replace 3 + 3 by 2 + 2 + 2 one by one.
Hence, the possible ways of combinations are listed below:
18 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 (1)
18 = 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 (2)
Therefore, there are two combinations of 2- and 3- point shots that could total 18 points.
