question 4b?
Ive worked out t= -0.366 & 1.366 by using the quadratic formula , what do i do next?

Now solve the trig equations tanθ2=1.366\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = 1.366 and [br]tanθ2=0.366[br]\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = -0.366

So i got theta/2= 0.93888 and theta/2= -0,35088
How do i put this into GS

The general solution of tanθ2=α\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \alpha is θ=2(tan1α+kπ)\theta = 2(\tan^{-1} \alpha + k\pi)

How do i get k? Will it not always be 2?

Do you know what a general solution is? I think you need to review your knowledge before blindly attempting questions.

Like Theta=(-0.702+2npi) Will k not =2n all the time?

Yeah, you can write it like that if you want. It's exactly the same.

If you want to go over this topic, this is a really good explanation.
