Math Problem Statement

Find all values of θ if θ is in the interval [0°, 360°) and has the given function value: tan(θ) ≈ 0.8754064.

Solution

The problem asks to find all values of θ\theta in the interval [0,360)[0^\circ, 360^\circ) where the given condition holds:

tan(θ)0.8754064\text{tan}(\theta) \approx 0.8754064

We will first solve for the principal angle using the inverse tangent function:

θ1=tan1(0.8754064)\theta_1 = \tan^{-1}(0.8754064)

Next, we will find the general solutions for θ\theta because the tangent function repeats every 180180^\circ, and we are limited to the interval [0,360)[0^\circ, 360^\circ).

Let me compute the specific solutions for θ\theta.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, you can calculate the values using the following steps:

  1. Compute θ1=tan1(0.8754064)\theta_1 = \tan^{-1}(0.8754064) to get the principal solution.
  2. Then, use the fact that the tangent function repeats every 180180^\circ to find the second solution within the interval [0,360)[0^\circ, 360^\circ):
    • The second solution is θ2=θ1+180\theta_2 = \theta_1 + 180^\circ.

If you calculate it, let me know if you'd like further help or explanations. Would you like to discuss any specific steps or concepts further?

Tip: When solving trigonometric equations, always check for all possible solutions within the specified interval by considering the periodicity of the function.
