Write the expression in algebraic form(trig functions).:Resolved:.
Hello everyone!
Yes its me again, im' studying for a quiz we are having tomarrow and i'm on the last section of trig.
What do they want when it says:
"Write the expression in algebraic form."
for example:
tan(arcsec(x/3));
Do i use identities to solve or what?
For me to get that x/3 out of there i could use the inverse functions rule f^-1(f(x)) = x and vice versa, but the tan is outside it, so i'm not sure what i would do here! anyone know?
Thanks!

hehe
Similar to that other thread:
consider the triangle:
Code:
|\
|n\
3| \ x
| \
|____\
sqrt(x2 - 9)
=> cos(n) = 3/x
=> sec(n) = x/3
=> n = arcsec(x/3)
=> tan(arcsec(x/3)) = tan(n) = sqrt(x2 - 9) / 3
Note that this is one answer, there are many more.
