Question

2m=-6n-5 literal equation

Answer 1

Answer:

read below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, archtan /  

tan

−

1

(

x

)

is the inverse of tangent. Tan is  

sin

cos

. Like the inverse of sin, the inverse of tan is also restricted to quadrants 1 and 4.

Knowing this we are solving for the inverse of tan -1. We are basically being asked the question what angle/radian does tan(-1) equal. Using the unit circle we can see that tan(1)= pi/4.

Since the "Odds and Evens Identity" states that tan(-x) = -tan(x). Tan(-1)= -pi/4.

Knowing that tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4. the answer is in either of those two quadrants. BUT!!! since inverse of tan is restricted to quadrants 1 and 4 we are left with the only answer -pi/4.

the answer is m=-3n-5/2 or n=2m+5/6
