tanθ=1.192 2011-01-15
From Adori:
Use a calculator to approximate two values of the θ (0 ≤θ≤2π) that satisfy the equation. a) tanθ=1.192

I do not understand how to find the second value of θ.

Family of functions 2007-11-12
From Russell:
Consider the family of functions
f(t)= Asin3t + Acos3t +Bsin8t + Bcos8t

find exact values of parameters A and B so that f(0) = 2 and f ' (0) = 1

Trig functions for angles not between 0 and 90 degrees 2007-07-16
From Tim:
My question: Why is the value of a trigonometric function, the same, for an angle over 90 degrees and its reference angle? How are the angle and its reference related? Do they both form a triangle that has equal sides?

Finding angles 2003-12-02
From Jason:
I AM TRYING TO SOLVE A TRIG PROBLEM AND HAVE FORGOT HOW TO DO IT. WHAT I HAVE IS A RIGHT TRIANGLE WITH SIDE A BEING 14 FEET AND SIDE B BEING 3 FEET, USING PYTHAGOREAMS THEOREM SIDE C SHOULD EQUAL 14.318 FEET ON A RIGHT TRIANGLE BUT I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW TO FIND MY ANGLES OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT IS 90 DEGREES.
