Question

Convert $\frac {4\pi}{3}$ in degrees.

Answer

Step 1: To convert radians back to degrees, multiply that radian measure by $\frac {180}{\pi}$

Step 2: Multiply:

$\frac {4\pi}{3}\cdot \frac {180}{\pi}$

Step 3: Reduce.. The $\pi$ will cancel...

$\frac {4}{3} \cdot 180$

Step 4: Divide by ..

$4\cdot 60^\circ=240^\circ$

$\frac {4\pi}{3}$ is equivalent to $240^\circ$

Question

Give in radians:

$\frac{x+\pi}{x-\pi}=30^{\circ}$

Answer

First we need to convert degrees to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$30^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Now we can write:

$\frac{x+\pi}{x-\pi}=\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow 6(x+\pi)=\pi(x-\pi)$

$\Rightarrow 6x+6\pi=x\pi-\pi^2\Rightarrow 6x-x\pi=-6\pi-\pi^2$

$\Rightarrow x(6-\pi)=-\pi(\pi+6)$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-\pi(\pi+6)}{6-\pi}=\frac{\pi(\pi+6)}{\pi-6}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Answer

First we need to convert degrees to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$120^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Now we can write:

$x-\pi=120^{\circ}\Rightarrow x-\pi=\frac{2\pi}{3}\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{3}+\pi=\frac{5\pi}{3}$

Question

Give in degrees:

$\frac{3x+6\pi}{2}=4\pi$

Answer

First we can find in radians:

$\frac{3x+6\pi}{2}=4\pi\Rightarrow 3x+6\pi=2\times 4\pi$

$\Rightarrow 3x+6\pi=8\pi\Rightarrow 3x=8\pi-6\pi$

$\Rightarrow 3x=2\pi\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{3}$

To change radians to degrees we need to multiply radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ . So we can write:

$x=\frac{2\pi}{3}\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{3}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=120^{\circ}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Give in degrees:

$\frac{4x-\pi}{2}=3\pi$

Answer

First we can find in radians:

$\frac{4x-\pi}{2}=3\pi\Rightarrow 4x-\pi=2\times 3\pi$

$\Rightarrow 4x-\pi=6\pi\Rightarrow 4x=6\pi+\pi$

$\Rightarrow 4x=7\pi\Rightarrow x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

To change radians to degrees we need to multiply radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ . So we can write:

$x=\frac{7\pi}{4}\Rightarrow x=\frac{7\pi}{4}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=315^{\circ}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Give in radians:

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

Answer

First we need to convert $72^{\circ}$ to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$72^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Now we can solve the following equation for :

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

$\Rightarrow {\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}=3(2x-\pi)\Rightarrow \frac{2\pi-5\pi}{5}=6x-3\pi$

$\Rightarrow -3\pi=30x-15\pi\Rightarrow 30x=12\pi$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{12\pi}{30}\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Give in degrees:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}-x}{\frac{\pi}{2}+x}=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

First we can find in radians:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}-x}{\frac{\pi}{2}+x}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow 2(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)=1(\frac{\pi}{2}+x)$

$\Rightarrow \pi-2x=\frac{\pi}{2}+x\Rightarrow \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}=3x$

$\Rightarrow 3x=\frac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

To change radians to degrees we need to multiply radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ . So we can write:

$x=\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=30^{\circ}$
