arctan(0.1x)+arctan(0.01x)=39

Solution

arctan (0.1 x) + arctan (0.01 x) = 3 9^{\circ}

Solution

x = \frac{0.01472 \dots - 0.11}{0.00161 \dots}

Solution steps

arctan (0.1 x) + arctan (0.01 x) = 3 9^{\circ}

Rewrite using trig identities

arctan (0.1 x) + arctan (0.01 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

arctan (s) + arctan (t) = arctan (\frac{s + t}{1 - s t})

= arctan (\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x})

arctan (\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x}) = 3 9^{\circ}

Apply trig inverse properties

arctan (\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x}) = 3 9^{\circ}

arctan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = tan (a)

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x} = tan (3 9^{\circ})

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x} = tan (3 9^{\circ})

Solve

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x} = tan (3 9^{\circ}) : x = - \frac{0.11 + 0.01472 \dots}{0.00161 \dots}, x = \frac{0.01472 \dots - 0.11}{0.00161 \dots}

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x} = tan (3 9^{\circ})

Simplify

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x} : \frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.001 x ^{2}}

\frac{0.1 x + 0.01 x}{1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x}

Add similar elements:

0.1 x + 0.01 x = 0.11 x

= \frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.1 \cdot 0.01 xx}

1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x = 1 - 0.001 x^{2}

1 - 0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x

0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x = 0.001 x^{2}

0.1 x \cdot 0.01 x

Multiply the numbers:

0.1 \cdot 0.01 = 0.001

= 0.001 xx

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

xx = x^{1 + 1}

= 0.001 x^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 0.001 x^{2}

= 1 - 0.001 x^{2}

= \frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.001 x ^{2}}

\frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.001 x ^{2}} = tan (3 9^{\circ})

Multiply both sides by

1 - 0.001 x^{2}

\frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.001 x ^{2}} = tan (3 9^{\circ})

Multiply both sides by

1 - 0.001 x^{2}

\frac{0.11 x}{1 - 0.001 x ^{2}} (1 - 0.001 x^{2}) = tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2})

Simplify

0.11 x = tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2})

0.11 x = tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2})

Solve

0.11 x = tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2}) : x = - \frac{0.11 + 0.01472 \dots}{0.00161 \dots}, x = \frac{0.01472 \dots - 0.11}{0.00161 \dots}

0.11 x = tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2})

Expand

tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2}) : tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2}

tan (3 9^{\circ}) (1 - 0.001 x^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = tan (3 9^{\circ}), b = 1, c = 0.001 x^{2}

= tan (3 9^{\circ}) \cdot 1 - tan (3 9^{\circ}) \cdot 0.001 x^{2}

= 1 \cdot tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2}

Multiply:

1 \cdot tan (3 9^{\circ}) = tan (3 9^{\circ})

= tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2}

0.11 x = tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2}

Switch sides

tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2} = 0.11 x

Move

0.11 x

to the left side

tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2} = 0.11 x

Subtract

0.11 x

from both sides

tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2} - 0.11 x = 0.11 x - 0.11 x

Simplify

tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2} - 0.11 x = 0

tan (3 9^{\circ}) - 0.001 tan (3 9^{\circ}) x^{2} - 0.11 x = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0
