solve f(x) = tanx for a = 1.7
well, I don't know what a has to do with x, but pull out your calculator, or use one of the many online calculators, and you can easily learn that
tan(1.7) = -7.7
That would have been a lot faster than posting a question like that and having to wait for an answer.
To solve the equation f(x) = tan(x) for a = 1.7, you need to determine the value of x that satisfies the equation.
First, substitute a = 1.7 into the equation:
tan(x) = 1.7
To solve for x, you can use the inverse tangent function, also known as arctan or tan^(-1). Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation:
arctan(tan(x)) = arctan(1.7)
The inverse tangent function cancels out the tangent function, leaving you with:
x = arctan(1.7)
To find the value of x, use a calculator with an inverse tangent function. Enter 1.7 into the calculator and find its inverse tangent. The result will give you the value of x that satisfies the equation f(x) = tan(x) for a = 1.7.
