Solve, correct to 2 decimal places, the equation cot(2x)=3 for 0°<x<180°

To start, we use the inverse trigonometric formulae to convert the 'cot' function into a 'tan' function: cot(2x)=1/(tan(2x))=3 Inverting this gives: tan(2x)=1/3 2x=arctan(1/3)=18.43°or (180+18.43)° Therfo...

Solve x^2 = 4(x – 3)^2

Expanding and simplifying the right hand side: x2=4(x-3)(x-3)=4(x2-6x+9)=4x2-24x+36 Deducting 'x2' from both sides: 0=3x2-24x+36 Dividing by 3 and fa...
