Question 1043275: A rotating beacon is located a distance d from a long wall. The distance d is given by
d = 3 tan 2πt,
where t is the time measured in seconds since the beacon started rotating. Solve the equation for t. Found 2 solutions by stanbon, ikleyn:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d = 3 tan 2πt,
where t is the time measured in seconds since the beacon started rotating. Solve the equation for t.
-------
tan(2pit) = d/3
------
2*pi*t = invtan(d/3)
-------
t = (1/(2pi))*invtan(d/3)
