In Exercises 15–27 you are asked to solve a trigonometric equation, either by finding all solutions, or only those in a specified interval.
b.26. Given the equation tan x = 1, find only the solutions that are in the interval [, 6]. Use exact values.
27. Given the equation tan x = 7, find only the solutions that are in the interval [, 6]. Round to nearest 0.01.
Solution
26 tan x = 1 in the [ , 6]
x = tan^-1(-1) = pi-pi/4 , 2pi-pi/4
= 3pi/4 +pi*n
x = -pi/4
n =0 ; x= 3pi/4
n=1 ; x= 7pi/4
n= 2 ; x= 11pi/4
n = 3 ; x= 15pi/4
n =4 \' x= 19pi/4
n = 5 ; x= 23pi/4
Solution ( -pi/4, 3pi/4, 7pi/4, 11pi/4, 15pi/4, 19pi/4 , 23pi/4 )
27. tanx = -7 interval [, 6]
x = tan^-1(-7) +pi*n
n=0 x = 2pi -tan^-1(7) = 4.85
n=1 ; x=7.996
n=2 ; x= 11.137
n =3 ; x= 14.279
n = 4; x= 17.421
