Question

14. What is the missing value to the nearest hundredth? (1 point)

Tan blank =15

A. 0.97
B. 0.27
C. 88.09
D. 86.19

Answer 1

D.86.19°

Explanation:

Let x represent the missing value.

The given trigonometric equation becomes: tan x=15

We take the inverse tangent of both sides to obtain: tan^-1( tan x )=tan^-1(15)

This implies that; x=tan^-1(15)

We use at least a scientific calculator to evaluate this and obtain: x=86.18592517

To the nearest hundredth, the missing value is x=86'19
