Tan(3x) = 1
3x = arctan(1) = pi/4, -3pi/4
x = (pi/4)/3 = pi/12 or (-3pi/4)/3 = -pi/4
Therefore, x = pi/12 or -pi/4
The lines on the triangles
1. <span>-0.9x+2.8=4.1
First subtract 2.8 from both sides.
-0.9x = 1.3
Now divide both sides by -0.9.
x = -1.4444..
This can be rounded to -1.44
</span><span>c) -1.44
2. Jordan has 650 pennies. He'll give 85 to his brother and split the rest with his sister.
</span>d) 85+2x=650
Answer:
I don't know. truncating your text book
If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12.
My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
