look again

#

wooooah

#

a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 0

#

so 2a + 1 + 2b + 1 = 2c + 1

#

and so 2a + 2b + 1 = 02c

pure cape
#

what?

dull pendant
#

oops*

pure cape
#

slow down

dull pendant
sly marlin
#

therefore 2=3

dull pendant
# pure cape what?

~~a^2 + 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 = c^2 + 2c + 1
as shown in the picture above

we know (for the first triangle):
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
which is:
a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 0

you can rearrange the equation of the second triangle to this:~~

pure cape
#

no im reacting to your mistake

dull pendant
#

ohh okay

silent plank
#

the slow down was in reference to you typing 0 instead of 2c

dull pendant

thanks all

Given the location of each point on this graph would there be anyway to 'guesstimate' pi? Would the amount of blue points / amount of orange points work?

lucid sage
#

assuming that blue is supposed to be a quarter circle, it should actually be 4 * (# of blue points) / (total # of points)

steep temple
#

When talking about the frequency of a wave, is it per 2pi radians? That's consider one cycle, right? So the frequency of sine and cos waves are both 1?

pure cape
#

well you were almost right

#

the frequency can also be calculated with period by this formula

#

where f is the frequency, and T is the period

steep temple
#

ah

#

so the frequency is per period

pure cape
#

yeah

#

and do mind that its not always 2pi

steep temple
#

yes yes i see

pure cape
#

the period will change accordingly to the coefficient of x

steep temple
#

of course

#

i am trying to solve for the frequency of my wave

#

this one

#

and i was trying to calculate the frequency off 2pi radians but now i recognise that does not make sense

#

ah but now i am confused again

#

what does this mean?

pure cape
#

you hae to make it into the form asin(bx + c) + d first to find the period

#

only then can you calculate the frequency

steep temple
#

the frequency is how many times the wave repeats per period?

#

doesn't that mean there is a 1:1 ratio

pure cape
#

ratio to what?

steep temple
#

so for example in my case

#

the period is 8pi radians

#

and the wave occurs once from 0 to 8pi radians

#

so its frequency is 1

pure cape
#

uh no, thats not how frequency is defined

steep temple
#

ok good

pure cape
#

in short, frequency just means how long, will it takes for an event to repeat it self again

steep temple
#

so my wave's frequency is $$ \frac{1}{8\pi} $$ ?

somber coyoteBOT
pure cape
#

yeah

#

that means every 8pi, you will see the function has a same y-value

steep temple
#

ah

#

i see that is a good definition

#

yes

pure cape
#

or you could also say that the wave repeats every 8pi seconds, but that doesnt really make much sense

#

unless more context is provided

steep temple
#

does B have a name?

pure cape
#

not really

#

i mean, in my experience i just call it coefficient

#

i heard someone call it period too

#

not sure why

queen sentinel
#

it'd be called a horizontal scale factor in graph transformation terms

tulip ingot
#

b is frequency but it should be just multiplied by x not (x + C)

#

so a better representation is
y = A * sin(Bx + C) + D

versed river
#

that is... not tru

#

For C to represent the phase shift it absolutely has to be factored as sin(B(x+C))

versed river
slate blade
#

although, you gotta remember sometimes "graph transformations" can be applied to this concept of sin/cos graphs.

#

and tbe (x+/-c) is how the graph shifts horizontally

upper karma
#

A: Amplitude

B: $\frac{2\pi}{period}$

C: Phase shift or horizontal translation

D: Sinusoidal Axis

unit circle fo today

#

what is this supposed to be

upper karma
#

hi, we have a triangle ABC, where AD is the bisctor of angle BAC, when is AD = AC?

west basin
#

when D is the midpoint of BC

#

in otherwords, BD = BC

upper karma
#

thanks, how we can prove it?

west basin
#

you know how to do a two column proof?

#

I cannot do that atm sorry but thats what you should do

upper karma
#

aaa, i know how

#

but how i do in this case

#

AD=AD.
AD=AC.

#

aaaaa, <DAB=<DAC

silk crown
#

if $\vec{a}$, $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are unit vectors, then find the maximum value of $|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|^2 + |\vec{b} - \vec{c}|^2 + |\vec{c} - \vec{a}|^2$

somber coyoteBOT
silk crown
#

how'd i go about doing this?

#

i think it's something to do with rewriting the things in the mod's

earnest echo
#

you'd have 2(a²+b²+c²)-2(ab.cos(alpha)+ bc.cos(beta)+ca.cos(gamma)

#

For maximum value let alpha=beta=gamma=π

#

Instead write

a.b+b.c+c.a=(a+b+c)²-(a²+b²+c²)

#

This is a cleaner way of doing it

#

So we'd have 9-|a+b+c|²

upper karma
#

ABC is a triangle with property if AD is bisector of angle A and AD is congruent to AC, D \in BC.
E \in AD with angle ABD = angle CED.
prove that : BD=CE

How to do two column proof

silent plank
#

1 column for statements, the other for their justification

silver spruce
#

when finding the area of a triangle with trig

#

is there kinda like 3 types of ways to solve the triangle with the same form if like all the info is given to you sides and angles

#

obv you would just use 1/2 bh but like for the sake of doing it with trig there would no?

humble pulsar
#

then yes there are technically 3 ways to find the area, since you can do it about any vertex. The actual math concepts are the same for all 3 vertices tho

silver spruce
#

i think yea

#

i just wanted to know like for a abs triangle with angles A B and C correspond with their lowercase letter, so 1/2bcsin(a) is also 1/2 absin(c)

humble pulsar
#

0.5absin(C) = 0.5bcsin(A) = 0.5acsin(B)

silver spruce
#

then you can prove law of cosines after that by mulipying by .5, divinging everything by abc and just flipping them over rite?

humble pulsar
#

law of sines*

#

but yes, that will give you the angle/side version of law of sines

Why are you just asking for the answer

#

if you already knew how to do it, you can do it yourself. If you don't, here's your chance to show your work.

upper karma
#

why is this such a big deal to you

sly marlin
#

I don't care about giving answers.

upper karma
#

and helping is more time wasted

#

i notice your time is limited

#

based on the fact that you are also in school

sly marlin
#

guilt tripping people into giving you answers wouldn't work

upper karma
#

how am i guilt tripping

#

thats an accusation you make

sly marlin
#

Just show your work, draw a diagram

#

how hard is that?

sly marlin
humble pulsar
#

did they really throw a tantrum?

sly marlin
#

idk, they aren't putting in their effort, I'm not giving away answers just because someone asked for it.

humble pulsar
#

yeah ik, im referencing the 4 pings in a row lol

sly marlin
#

probably then

ripe robin
#

I had to translate this one so hopefully everything's correct:
You have a right triangle ABC, AB being hypotenuse. Then you draw an inscribed circle with a center I and a point U on BC, where BC is tangent to the circle. What is the ratio of |AC| : |BC| if angles CAU and CBI are the same

#

I found out that triangles BUI and CAU are the same size, because their angles are the same and |CU| = |UI|

#

Then I managed to get this, but i'm not sure what to do now

#

(sorry for the bad drawing)

upper karma
#

where did you get that a+b from?

#

btw a = 1

ripe robin
#

Triangles BUI and CAU are the same, i think

upper karma
#

why

#

oh wait

ripe robin
#

Aren't all internal angles the same?

upper karma
#

didnt read the last bit of the problem

ripe robin
#

Oh, alright

upper karma
#

I mean they are similar

#

yeah they are congruent

#

lol yeah how about some pythag?

ripe robin
#

I tried but I couldn't move all variables to one side

#

...maybe I don't have to?

#

Oh you were right

#

I used pythagorean theorem but assigned a = 1

#

I swear i tried this before but I guess i made a mistake or something, haha

#

thanks

slim saddle
#

when doing trig i was wondering if you could solve a missing side of a triangle by hand

#

Lets say we got angle g = 50 degrees and opposite side of angle g = 15.

#

could we solve hypotenuse

#

by hand with no calculator

humble pulsar
slim saddle
#

how do you solve by approximatin

humble pulsar
#

sin40 ~ sin45

#

actually no, there's a quicker way

#

sin50 = hyp/15 -> hyp = 15sin50 ~15sin45 = 15/sqrt(2)

hm I guess the pearson was wrong then

#

because it said the answer was cos(x) instead of cos(-x)

#

Trying to help my sis with trig

#

What does it mean to find the general solution again?

versed river
#

as in to an equation with trig functions? Find a solution that encompasses every single value that could solve the equation using a parameter

#

instead of just in a certain interval

#

for instance the general solution to sin(x)=0 is x=n*pi for integer n

quartz oxide
#

So in this example you would have to factor before solving?

versed river
#

not sure where the +1 comes from in the second line but yes you would have to factor that to solve it

#

and you haven't found the general solution

#

90 degrees is a specific solution to cosx=0, a general solution must encompass all possible x that would solve it

quartz oxide
#

90 is what the teacher gave them on the answer sheet 😂

#

Something seems amiss her classmates are confused aswell

versed river
#

ye lmao thats not a general solution.

#

but again that +1 came out of your ass and it should be sinx-3=0 in the 3rd line

quartz oxide
#

Alright

#

Ngl idk how to factor trig stuff so that was her work

versed river
#

just the same way you'd factor anything else right

#

theres a cosx common to both

#

so you can pull it out

#

and you're left with sin(x)-3

#

giving you cos(x)(sin(x)-3)

#

it doesnt actually matter that she factored it incorrectly anyway because both sinx=2 and sinx=3 have no sols lol

quartz oxide
#

So there isn’t even a general solution?

versed river
#

i mean there is a general solution

#

since theres no solutions from the sinx=3 side

#

the general solution is just the sols to cosx=0

#

which turns out to be $\pm \frac{\pi}{2}+2n\pi$

somber coyoteBOT
versed river
#

or if you want $\pm 90^{\circ} +360n^{\circ}$

somber coyoteBOT
quartz oxide
#

👍 once I explained that sinx=3 had no solution and to use cosx=0 she got it

#

Man I hope I never need to use trig professionally

#

insufficient info

#

are you leaving out a crapton of info associated with the diagram??

#

well there's nothing fixing the positions of points U and C

#

is that your own diagram?

#

if its theirs and those lines were already green, then contextually their congruence is implied to be given

#

in fact you should tell me the actual/original question

#

and everything that comes with it

#

ok that's clearer

#

you need to fix some stuff

#

for you first statement, i'd recommend starting
RL bisects... on a new line. you also left out the 3rd letter on your angle

#

nothing you wrote in the second statement is really given

#

and nothing says anything about U and E being midpoints

#

you can omit it and instead of def of midpoint, you could use def of perp bisect

#

you'd need to state R is the midpoint PH using property of a (perp) bisector if you want to use that justification for that

#

you haven't applied
segment RL bisects <URC yet

#

and the perp bisector from the vertex also gives more information (which you may or not be allowed to apply directly)

that doesn't mean their values are equal

pure cape
#

think of the trig functions what you can use

silk patio
#

You don’t need trig really, if you know ABC=30 you know ALB is an isosceles triangle. ACL is half an equilateral triangle. So you know it’s base is half it’s slanted edge which is the same as LB

silk patio
#

Another creative way is to drop the perpendicular down from L to the side AB to get 3 congruent triangles. So the area of triangle ALB is twice ALC. since they have the same perpendicular height their bases must be in the ratio of 1:2 also

upper karma
#

ABC is a triangle with AB=AC.
AD ⊥ BC, M is a point on AD such that AM=MD.
and DN ⊥ MB.
prove AN ⊥ NC

#

AM = AD ?

#

nope, my mistake sorry

#

AM=MD

#

I know it sounds lame but coord bash would do the job

silk patio
#

That’s lame

upper karma
#

centered at D

#

what means coord bas

#

bash

#

its first time when i hear about this:))

#

cartesian plane centered at D

#

aa

#

then idk set B = (-a,0) and M = (0,b)

#

thanks

#

but i need to solve with plane geometry

#

find a triangle similar to NBD

upper karma
#

if we construct DP _|_MC we have triangle DPC similar to triangle NBD

#

yeah those are actually congruent

#

Yes

#

NBD is similar to || DBM and NDM ||

#

how can i prove?

silk patio
#

They have the same angles

#

It’s not cyclic

#

Wrong 4 points

upper karma
#

oops

#

prove || ANDC is cyclic ||

silk patio
#

Do you know why it’s cyclic

upper karma
#

lol the guy disappeared

obtuse tapir
#

this kinda ez

#

just too many steps

silk patio
#

How’d you do it? @obtuse tapir

upper karma
#

questions 6,7 and 8 please

humble pulsar
#

for 6 you know the right altitude is 17 also by symmetry, so you can find the length from the altitude to the bottom right most vertex

upper karma
#

so whats the answer

deft zodiac
#

hello! can i have help with this question?

main lintel
main lintel
# deft zodiac

Do you know formula for a line passing through the point? Have you attempted something?

deft zodiac
main lintel
#

There is a general formula for a line passing through a given point and a gradient. VERY IMPORTANT.
And the second one for a line passing thgouth 2 given points. VERY IMPORTANT.

#

You need the first of these.

deft zodiac
#

ok thank you!

main lintel
#

m is the slope (gradient), and x1, y1 are the coordinates of the point.

#

The second formula, which is very important for some other tasks is

#

So you dont have gradient in the second formula but two points the line passes through.

obtuse tapir
#

How’d you do it? @obtuse tapir
@silk patio hmm try proving ANM and DNC similiar

#

For ang ANC to be 90 ang DNC=ang ANM

#

The relations in triangle BND to NDC are the same the relation between DNA and ANM

#

stretched horizontally two times

sweet flume
#

Find the hypotenuse of an inscribed circle on a right triangle using th radius 5cm and perimeter 60 cm

#

Do you guys have any idea?

vast urchin
west basin
#

It means you need to translate each coordinate (x,y) to (x,y+3)

strong basalt
#

I think you just need to change the y coordinate of the points to y+3

upper karma
#

There's a pinned pic with trig identities too

valid briar
#

i'm kinda stuck...

main lintel
#

What happens if you square the second, and in the first one isolate siny on one side and square it. And then replace first into second?

#

@valid briar

valid briar
#

alright i'll give that a shot. i did something similar tho before

#

i didn't continue coz i thought it would be too lenghty

upper karma
#

I mean one easy solution is x = y = pi/4

main lintel
#

This should help factorizing the final 4th order equation 😄

valid briar
#

yeah but i gotta find a general solution

upper karma
# valid briar

both sin(x) and sin(y) have to be positive - something to note

#

since cos(x) and cos(y) have to be the same sign -> x and y are angles in quadrant 1

valid briar
#

yeah true

upper karma
#

if we find all solutions for (x, y) in the first quadrant, we can add 2πn to each solution and be done

#

$(sin(x) + sin(y))^2 = 2$

somber coyoteBOT
upper karma
#

$cos(x)cos(y) = 1/2$

somber coyoteBOT
upper karma
#

$4cos(x)cos(y) = 2$

somber coyoteBOT
upper karma
#

$4cos(x)cos(y) = (sin(x) + sin(y))^2$

somber coyoteBOT
upper karma
#

$4cos(x)cos(y) = sin^2(x) + 2sin(x)sin(y) + sin^2(y)$

#

\cos \sin for a better looking message

somber coyoteBOT
upper karma
#

ye - am too lazy lol sry

valid briar
#

i'm following

#

...

upper karma
#

yea - i'm just trying stuff out honestly 😦

#

last resort is we use a graphing calc but we really shouldn't

valid briar
#

i mean i got the basic idea about pi/4 being it

main lintel
#

I mean when I do the substitution I get
t^4 - 2sqrt(2)t^3 + t2sqrt(2)-5/4 = 0
t=sinx
And knowing that one solution is x=PI/4, that is t=sqrt(2)/2

valid briar
#

but the answer key says this

#

wait..

upper karma
#

m and n are complex numbers?

valid briar
#

a general solution, but how would i get it in this form?!

upper karma
#

idk

#

wait

#

ok so literally pi/4 cycled

#

Z is

valid briar
upper karma
#

OHHH

valid briar
upper karma
#

Z is integers

#

oh ok

#

but how?

#

how would we get that?

valid briar
#

uhh... notation?

upper karma
#

i mean solve for those values

main lintel
#

So I can factorize this into
(t-sqrt(2)/2) * (t^3 - 3sqrt(2)/2*t^2 - 3/2*t + 5sqrt(2)/4) = 0

valid briar
#

oh that we get that since we wanna cycle pi/4 for like 2pi or something making the coefficients of pi integers

upper karma
#

interesting

valid briar
#

for example if sin(x) = 0, i could say that x = n*pi, where n belongs to integers

#

but howwww would i get this in this question?!

upper karma
#

yea i've no idea

#

if you graph these equations, there is a chance you may notice something (i haven't tried it yet tho)

main lintel
#

Second solution can also be sqrt(2)/2.

valid briar
#

but ig wouldn't this be too much?

valid briar
main lintel
#

Yes, there is a double solution into sqrt(2)/4

valid briar
#

yeah

valid briar
main lintel
#

I found a nice solution 😮

#

Maybe there is nicer but check this pro one @valid briar @upper karma @upper karma
You already concluded that sinx and siny must be positive (because their sum is sqrt(2) > 1).
Now squaring the first: sin^2(x) + 2sinxsiny + sin^2(y) = 2
Squaring the second: 1 - sin^2(x) - sin^2(y) + sin^2(x)sin^2(y) = 1/4
Subtracting these two gives: sin^2(x)sin^2(y) + 2sin(x)sin(y) - 5/4 = 0
This is a quadratic equation from which you can find t=sin(x)sin(y) = -1 +- 3/2 = 1/2, as sin(x) and sin(y) are positive.

This means we have sin(x) + sin(y) = sqrt(2) (which is given) and sin(x)sin(y)=1/2. From A-G mean:
sqrt(2) = sin(x) + sin(y) >= 2sqrt(sin(x)sin(y)) = 2sqrt(1/2) = sqrt(2).
The equality holds only when sin(x)=sin(y), and the rest is trivial.

#

I dont know if there is a simpler one

valid briar
#

wow yeah this makes sense. Thanks for your effort :) @main lintel

glass rover
#

anything think they can solve this for me?

#

@main lintel

#

if u can

cinder portal
#

br uh, we aint solving things for u, at least try please

#

if sin theta = 0.2, then what can cos theta be?

glass rover
#

no clue bro

#

i dont know where to start

cinder portal
#

Use the identity

#

it tells you in the question

glass rover
#

yeah but idk what pi/2<theta<pi means

cinder portal
#

draw your quadrants out

#

that's a very important piecce of information

glass rover
#

do you think you can one time solve then i'll attempt the next one?

cinder portal
#

no

#

you're gonna try solve it

#

i'll help you, that's all

glass rover
#

so i would plug in .2 right

cinder portal
#

yes

#

and what do you get for cos(theta)?

#

Hint: you should be getting 2 solutions for cos(theta)

glass rover
#

what do i plug in for theta?

#

.2?

cinder portal
#

itt literally says

#

sin(theta) = 0.2, not theta = 0.2

#

$$(0.2)^2 + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$$

somber coyoteBOT
cinder portal
#

please tell me you can solve this at least

glass rover
#

oh

#

oh

#

ohhh

cinder portal
#

what did you get for cos(theta)

glass rover
#

.2013?

#

cos^2 theta u mean?

cinder portal
#

uhhh are you sure?

glass rover
#

im honestly so bad at algebra

cinder portal
#

ok, backtrack

#

can you at least figure out what cos^2 theta is

glass rover
#

.96

cinder portal
#

yes

#

so

#

we know

glass rover
#

i understand now

#

i was plugging it in

cinder portal
#

$$\cos^2(\theta) = 0.96$$

glass rover
#

and trying to find theta

somber coyoteBOT
glass rover
#

by itself

cinder portal
#

now, what is $\cos(\theta)$

somber coyoteBOT
cinder portal
#

no need

#

trust me

#

no need to find theta

glass rover
#

sqr(.96)

cinder portal
#

yes

#

and what does that give you

glass rover
#

.89

#

.98

#

meant

cinder portal
#

i'll trust u on that, im too lazy to pull out my own calculator

#

but

#

that's not all

#

there should be 2 solutions

#

what happens when you square root something

glass rover
#

.96 * ,96?

#

wait

#

1

cinder portal
#

????????

glass rover
#

idk man

cinder portal
#

square root of (0.96) gives you 2 solutions

glass rover
#

yes rad.96

#

and .98

cinder portal
#

?????????????????????????????

#

no no no no no

#

ok

#

uh

#

$$x^2 = 4$$, find x

somber coyoteBOT
cinder portal
#

solve this simply

#

what is x

#

x^2 = 4

glass rover
#

2

cinder portal
#

wrong

glass rover
#

lmao

cinder portal
#

there's another solution

glass rover
#

???

cinder portal
#

2 is one of the solution

#

do you not remember

glass rover
#

-2

#

oh

cinder portal
#

there you go

glass rover
#

im dumb

#

-.98

cinder portal
#

squareroot of 0.96 gives you 2 solutions, 0.98 and -0.98

glass rover
#

yes

#

makes sense now

cinder portal
#

now, how do you figure out whether it's the positive version or the negative version

glass rover
#

uh the pi/2<theta<pi

cinder portal
#

exactly

glass rover
#

so its negative

cinder portal
#

correct

#

now, that wasn't so hard, was it?

glass rover
#

so the answer is -.98?

cinder portal
#

no

#

you're not done yet

#

we know cos(theta) is -0.98, and sin(theta) is 0.2

#

what is tan(theta)

glass rover
#

idk

cinder portal
#

look at your notes

glass rover
#

tbh

cinder portal
#

LOOK AT YOUR NOTES

#

there's an equation for tan(theta)

glass rover
#

oh

#

1

cinder portal
#

WHAT

#

?????????

#

NOOOO

glass rover
#

unless u mean

#

a/h

cinder portal
#

$$\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$$

#

remember this?

somber coyoteBOT
cinder portal
#

just use this lmao

glass rover
#

no

#

oh

cinder portal
#

wait

#

you didnt learn this?

glass rover
#

i did

cinder portal
#

b ruh

glass rover
#

but its been a while

cinder portal
#

and there you go

#

i hope you know how to divide

glass rover
#

well i ran outta time but atleast i understand it lmao

cinder portal
#

good, now you'll stand a chance on the next one

upper karma
#

timed test?

cinder portal
#

oh shit

#

was it a timed test?

glass rover
#

#

no timed classwork

#

8 min per question

#

5 questions

#

wym sus

#

also idk if i missed a negative

#

answer in my calc is .3566

cinder portal
#

omg you dont know how to divide

glass rover
#

sin(.2)/cos(-.98)

cinder portal
#

WHATO

#

NOOOOOOOOOOO

#

WTF

#

sin(theta) = 0.2, cos(theta) = -0.98

glass rover
#

oh

cinder portal
#

you dont plug it into theta

#

literally

#

0.2 / -0.98

#

there's no need to figure out what theta is

glass rover
#

-.204?

#

og

cinder portal
#

there u go

glass rover
#

ight thanks but next time dont be so annoying

#

like im strugglin here

#

and u just ?????????????????? what!!

cinder portal
#

I want you to at least try

#

It didn't help that I had to baby sit you every. single. step.

#

even dividing and basic algebra

#

hi, i'm a bit stuck on where to start with this question, would the first step be splitting it up into triangles?

obtuse tapir
#

That is an approachable method

thin dove
#

hmm okay, would you be able to clarify what i would need to do next? not exactly sure what to do with the triangles after

obtuse tapir
#

i’d name this shape ABCD

#

Then

#

Find out tan(80)

#

To find the right angled triangle on the right side with the 3cm leg

#

Then I’ll know the difference on the left side

#

then do tan(x)=3/whatever the difference

#

then subtract x from 180

thin dove
#

ooh yes i see it now

#

thank you sm for your help!!

reef parrot
#

umm can some1 help me with this problem? i dunno where to start

#

im using it as a practice

lavish torrent
#

(sinx - cosx) ^2

#

expand that

reef parrot
#

then?

#

i got 1-sin2x after that picture, then?

#

<@&286206848099549185>

earnest echo
#

He meant to say "square both sides"

reef parrot
#

then i got 1/25 on the rhs

#

simplifying further will be
sinx = 0.48

earnest echo
#

You don't need to do that

pure cape
#

Its telling you to find sinxcosx

reef parrot
#

so how

pure cape
#

You dont have to go all thru that stuff

#

By isolating sinxcosx?

reef parrot
#

wdym?

#

i dont get it at all

pure cape
#

You dont have to go all thru the hassle of finding sinx and then find cosx

#

You can just find it from the equation above

#

After squaring both side, you got 1 - 2sinxcosx = 1/25 right?

reef parrot
#

yea

pure cape
#

So can you find sinxcosx?

reef parrot
#

do i equate it to 0?

#

then factor out?

pure cape
#

Why?

#

Think of sinxcosx as a varible

#

You want to know its value

#

This will just need a bit of algebra

reef parrot
#

so i should see this as
1-2x=1/25?

pure cape
#

Yeah

earnest echo
#

Use something else instead of x

pure cape
#

Tho you should use another letter

reef parrot
#

oh wait

#

is it - 12/25

pure cape
#

Uhhh you did something wrong

#

Try again

reef parrot
#

i think it should be positive.

pure cape
#

1 - 1/25 isnt -24/25

reef parrot
#

i transposed 1 to the rhs so it became - 1

pure cape
#

Then what about the - 2x

reef parrot
#

thats where i forgot the sign

pure cape
#

And try to use another letter next time lol

reef parrot
#

dividing both sides by - 2, i think the answer is 12/25. is it?

pure cape
#

Yes

reef parrot
#

oh sorry, why diff letter?

pure cape
#

That's becayse if you used x, that means you are implying that the solution for that x is also the solution for the x in the sinx and cosx

#

Which is false

reef parrot
#

ohhh

#

welp that will lead to misunderstanding for somebody else, not for me atleast

#

thanks btw. and for the tip ty

upper karma
pure cape
#

@upper karma have you heard of a theorem called the pythagorean theorem?

upper karma
#

yes, im working on it right now

pure cape
#

Good, can you recall what the theorem is?

upper karma
#

Explain step by step how you would evaluate cos(a+b)given the values of sin(a) and sin(b) both expressed as y/r, if both a and b ∈ [0,pi/2].

#

is this right? ^

humble pulsar
upper karma
#

how would you do it any other way there arent any #s given

#

@humble pulsar

humble pulsar
#

wait nvm, i forgot you wouldnt be able to get x without defining in terms of y and r

#

yes that's right, though 3 could be flushed out slightly to make it explicit that you need to take the postive root when you sqrt

upper karma
humble pulsar
#

x^2 = a -> x = +/-sqrt(a)

#

why cant you take the negative square root when you take sqrt?

upper karma
#

since its in 0 to pi/2

humble pulsar
#

right, cause cos(a) is positive for a in [0,pi/2]

upper karma
#

so do i have to mention that?

humble pulsar
#

but you just took square root and automatically wrote positive, which is technically wrong, since taking square root introduces a plus/minus

humble pulsar
upper karma
#

this better

#

@humble pulsar

#

how can i make my anwser more simplified?

humble pulsar
#

You cant really make it much simpler, you could just get rid of 4 and replace it with "Thus we take the positive roots of the expressions in 3"

#

or something along those lines

upper karma
#

no i mean is there a way i can make the final anwser more simplified

#

like the cos ( a+b) = part

humble pulsar
#

Not really, I'd personally be content with leaving the answer as that

#

oh also, you should probably use subscripts instead of superscripts to distinguish y's and r's, cause if im reading that im reading y to the power of 0 which is just 1

upper karma
#

oh okok

#

also one more question: Use the appropriate compound and/or double angle formulas to write cos(3x)in terms of cos(x)

#

is this right

#

can anyone explain how to get sin(t) and cos(t) FROM only tan(t)?

I literally guessed to get these right and have no idea how to actually do it

#

it would help if you drew out a right triangle

true pollen
#

oh okay, and then what :<

stuck dragon
#

remember that tan(t)=opposite/adjacent

#

ik there's a negative so ima get to that rn

#

we also know that tan(t)=sin(t)/cos(t)

#

since it says sin(t)>0

#

we can infer that cos(t) is negative

right?

Is this the question ?

#

If it's then

#

From given equation we know the centre of circle. Let the centre be O

#

Find radius by using O and a point on y axis

#

Draw PT

#

join O and T

#

Since PT is a tangent

#

Angle PTO is a right angled triangle

#

Use Pythagoras theorem

steep temple
#

dude

#

where is T

#

how the hell am i meant to draw PT if my biggest issue is working out where the hell P is

#

the issue with this article is it assumes the circle is centered at (0, 0) and so you get one massive simplicity

#

which would be subsituting the coordinates
