what have I done wrong here ;-;

[hearty rivet]

109~ isn't either answer for this

[cloud sinew]

when k=4
4-2root2sinθ=4+4cosθ
-2root2sinθ=4cosθ
tanθ=4/(-2root2)
θ = -54.73..., 125.26..., 305.26...
θ = 125.3, 305.3

this wasnt on the hw

[hearty rivet]

hmm okay

Is it possible to use t-formulae here? I figured it might be the easiest way but alas it is not

[cloud sinew]

why would you do that tho

[hearty rivet]

.

[cloud sinew]

I have no idea tbh

didn't even run thru my mind

as an option

i jus saw that θ ≠ 180 and that im gonna end up w a tan somewhere

[lavish venture]

“Solve, if possible” is crazy

[cloud sinew]

i assume the fact θ≠180 comes into that too

[hearty rivet]

Actually no. For one of them, sin(theta) > 1, and another, you get complex roots using t-formulae
