Do you want a general solution or from 0 <= x < 2pi?
tan^2(2x) - 1 = 0
tan^2(2x) = 1
Take the square root of both sides,
tan(2x) = +/- 1
Two equations:
tan(2x) = 1
tan(2x) = -1
Solve each equation.
tan(2x) = 1, 2x = {pi/4, 5pi/4, 9pi/4, 13pi/4},
x = { pi/8, 5pi/8, 9pi/8, 13pi/8 }
tan(2x) = -1, 2x = { 3pi/4, 7pi/4, 11pi/4, 15pi/4 },
x = { 3pi/8, 7pi/8, 11pi/8, 15pi/8}
So for solutions within [0, 2pi),
x = {pi/8, 3pi/8, 5pi/8, 7pi/8, 9pi/8, 11pi/8, 13pi/8, 15pi/8 }
The equation
has 2 and x in common. This means you can factor both the 2 and x out of the equation like so...
2x(

what grade is this and what are the answers i need them to help
1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700.
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
