Trigonometry Circular and Inequalities: Homework Statement and Solution Attempt

In summary, the conversation involves a trigonometry problem with two pictures and an inequality that needs to be solved. The question asks about the use of two different angles, π/2 and 3π/2, and why they do not produce the same results. The given equation is \sqrt{3}tg(3x+\frac{\pi}{3})<3, and the results for tg are \frac{\pi}{3}>3x+\frac{pi}{3}>\frac{-\pi}{2} with x being an angle. The person asking for help is seeking clarification on the problem.

Homework Statement



I have one trigonometry circular, like on this "[PLAIN 00211.jpg"]picture.[/URL]

On the picture there are pi/2 and -pi/2.

Also I have another picture with inequality which "[PLAIN 00211.jpg"]I need to solve.[/URL]

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\sqrt{3}tg(3x+\frac{\pi}{3})<3[/tex]

[tex]tg(3x+\frac{pi}{3})<\sqrt{3}[/tex]I have another "[URL 0021111.JPG"]picture.[/URL]

So the results for tg are:

[tex]\frac{\pi}{3}>3x+\frac{pi}{3}>\frac{-\pi}{2}[/tex]

so the results for x are

[tex]0>\frac{-5\pi}{18}[/tex]

The question is: will I get same if I use [tex]\frac{3\pi}{2}[/tex] instead of [tex]\frac{\-pi}{2}[/tex]

Hi Physicsissuef! :smile:

more information needed …

what is x? is it an angle (if it isn't, how can you add it to π/2?)

what are the two horizontal lines supposed to be?

what are you being asked to solve? :confused:

x is angle. I asked why I don't get same when I use [tex]\frac{3\pi}{2}[/tex] instead of [tex]\frac{-\pi}{2}[/tex]?
 

FAQ: Trigonometry Circular and Inequalities: Homework Statement and Solution Attempt

What is trigonometry and why is it important?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. It is important because it is used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and navigation to solve problems involving angles and distances.

What are circular functions in trigonometry?

Circular functions in trigonometry refer to the sine, cosine, and tangent functions, which are used to relate the angles of a right triangle to the lengths of its sides. These functions are also used to describe circular motion, hence the name "circular" functions.

How are inequalities used in trigonometry?

Inequalities are used in trigonometry to represent the relationship between two trigonometric functions. For example, the Pythagorean inequality states that for any triangle, the square of the longest side is always greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Inequalities are also used to solve trigonometric equations and to find the maximum and minimum values of trigonometric functions.

Can you provide an example of a trigonometry problem involving circular functions and inequalities?

One example of a trigonometry problem involving circular functions and inequalities is finding the maximum area of a triangle inscribed in a circle with a given radius. This problem can be solved using the inequality A < πr2, where A is the area of the triangle and r is the radius of the circle.

How can I improve my understanding of trigonometry and inequalities?

To improve your understanding of trigonometry and inequalities, it is important to practice solving various problems and to review the concepts regularly. You can also seek help from a tutor or join a study group to discuss and clarify any doubts. Additionally, there are many online resources, such as videos and interactive tutorials, that can help you better understand these concepts.
