Q. Find all angles, 0∘≤θ<360∘, that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.2tan2θ+3tanθ−4=−5Answer: θ=
Simplify Equation: First, we need to simplify the given equation by moving all terms to one side to set the equation to zero.2tan2θ+3tanθ−4+5=02tan2θ+3tanθ+1=0
Factor Quadratic: Next, we will factor the quadratic equation in terms of tan(θ).$2tan(θ)+1(\tan(\theta) + 1) = 0\)
Solve for tan(θ): Now, we will solve for tan(θ) by setting each factor equal to zero.First factor: 2tanθ+1=0tanθ=−21
Find Angles: Second factor: tanθ+1=0tanθ=−1
Use Inverse Tangent: We will find the angles for tanθ=−21 using the inverse tangent function and considering the periodicity and symmetry of the tangent function.θ=arctan(−21)This will give us two angles, one in the fourth quadrant and one in the second quadrant.
Calculate Angles: For tanθ=−1, we know that the tangent function is negative in the second and fourth quadrants.θ=arctan(−1)This will give us two angles, one in the fourth quadrant and one in the second quadrant.
Final Angles: We will use a calculator to find the angles to the nearest tenth of a degree.For tanθ=−21:θ≈360−arctan(21)≈360−26.6≈333.4 degrees (fourth quadrant)θ≈180−arctan(21)≈180−26.6≈153.4 degrees (second quadrant)
Final Angles: We will use a calculator to find the angles to the nearest tenth of a degree.For tanθ=−21:θ≈360−arctan(21)≈360−26.6≈333.4 degrees (fourth quadrant)θ≈180−arctan(21)≈180−26.6≈153.4 degrees (second quadrant)For tanθ=−1:θ≈360−arctan(1)≈360−45≈315 degrees (fourth quadrant)θ≈180−arctan(1)≈180−45≈135 degrees (second quadrant)
Final Angles: We will use a calculator to find the angles to the nearest tenth of a degree.For tanθ=−21:θ≈360−arctan(21)≈360−26.6≈333.4 degrees (fourth quadrant)θ≈180−arctan(21)≈180−26.6≈153.4 degrees (second quadrant)For tanθ=−1:θ≈360−arctan(1)≈360−45≈315 degrees (fourth quadrant)θ≈180−arctan(1)≈180−45≈135 degrees (second quadrant)We have found all the angles that satisfy the equation:θ≈333.4 degrees, 153.4 degrees, 315 degrees, and 135 degrees.
