solve the equation 2cos x=3tan x, for 0°<x<360°

We know that tan x =sin x/cos x,

so we can multiply the whole equation by cos x which gives us => 2cos^2 x =3 sin x

from the trig identity sin^2 (x)+ cos^2 (x)=1, we can sub in cos^2 (x)...

Factorise x^3+3x^2-x-3

Test factors of -3 to find a root for the equation. For example, try 1, 1^3+3*1^2-1-3=0, so 1 is a root, and (x-1) is a factor. Now it's known that: (ax^2+bx+c)(x-1)=x^3+3x^2-x-3. By comparing coefficient...

Draw the curve for x^2-5x+6

In order to find the intercepts of this curve, we first need to factorise the quadratic equation. We need to find 2 numbers that add together to equal -5 and those two same numbers multiply together to e...
