Given that y=a tan bx+c has period pi/4 rad and passes through the points (0,-2)

and (pi/16,0), find the


values of each of the constants a, b, and c.

ChatGPT

To find the values of the constants

a,

b, and

c, we'll use the properties of the tangent function and the given information.

Period of

y=atan(bx+c):

The period of the tangent function

(

y=tan(x) is

π. In general, for

tan

𝑥

y=tan(bx), the period is

∣b∣

. Here, we're given that the period is

, so
∣
𝑏

∣b∣=4, and thus

b=±4.

Passes through the points (0, -2) and (

Substituting these points into the equation, we get two equations to solve for

a and

c.

For the point (0, -2):

We know

tan(

b+c)=0 when the angle equals

𝑛

nπ, where

n is an integer. So,

𝑛

c=nπ and

Now, let's solve these equations.

Finding

b:

Given that the period is

, we have

∣

∣b∣=4, so

b=±4.

Finding

c:

From the second equation for the point (

b+c=

. Since

b=±4, we have two possible equations for

c:

⟹c=

(−4)+c=

⟹c=

Finding

a:

Using the first equation for the point (0, -2), we get

−2=atan(c). Since

Therefore, the values of the constants are:

ChatGPT

To solve the equation

cos

(2cos(3x)+1)

2cos(3x)=0

cos

cos(3x)=0

For

cos

cos(3x)=0, we know that

3x must be an odd multiple of

because

So,

Solve for

Divide by 3 to solve for

This equation provides all solutions for

For
