Using logarithms solve 8^(2x+1) = 24 (to 3dp)

Using the laws of logs you can see that if you log both sides of the equation you get: (2x+1)*log(8) = log(24) Dividing both sides of the equation by log(8) you get: 2x+1 = log(24)/log(8) Then it is a simple...

Solve the equation tanx/cosx = 1 for 0°<x<360°

Firstly we need to rearrange this equation so that it contains only one trigonometric function of x (i.e. tanx, cosx or sinx) which will make it much easier to solve. We can do this in the following way: Fir...
