Math Problem Statement

how do I do this

Write down an expression for y in terms of x.

Solution

The diagram provided involves angles and requires expressing yy in terms of xx.

From the diagram:

  1. yy is the entire angle at the center.
  2. 2x2x is part of that angle.

Key Concept

The angle yy is made up of 2x2x, and therefore they are directly related.

Solution

By the geometric relation given, yy is exactly twice 2x2x: y=2xy = 2x

So the answer is: y=2xy = 2x
