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)° Therfore ...

Solve x^2 = 4(x – 3)^2

Expanding and simplifying the right hand side: x 2 =4(x-3)(x-3)=4(x 2 -6x+9)=4x 2 -24x+36 Deducting 'x 2 ' from both sides: 0=3x 2 -24x+36 Dividing by 3 and factorising: 0=x 2 -8x+12=(x-6)(x-2) Therefore sol...
