AI Thread Summary
To solve for ω in the given equation, start by manipulating the terms, such as multiplying by -1 and rearranging arctan components. The range of arctan limits the values, indicating that 180 degrees cannot be used directly in the equation. The discussion highlights the importance of using the angle sum formula for tangent and suggests expressing ω in terms of u. Users are encouraged to show their work for more tailored assistance, and WolframAlpha can provide exact solutions for u. Understanding these transformations is crucial for finding the correct approach to the problem.

Well, what have you done on this? I can see a few obvious things to do to start- like multiplying through by -1! Have you done that? And taking the tangent of both sides seems obvious. What is tan(180)? Do you know the formula for tan(a+b)? Can you extend that to tan(a+ b+ c)?
 
Yes, i do 2 ways but none of them work fine...could you write the equation because its a start point of G.M(Gain margin) and Phase margin ampilfier.

Multiply throughout by -1.

Bring one of the arctan terms over to the RHS (to the same side as the 180 degree term). Suggest the one with 104 in the denominator.

Take tangent of both sides. LHS can be resolved with angle sum formula. RHS is easy.

That should be enough to start you out. Show your work (in detail), then you'll get more help.
 
Is 180 in degrees?
It cannot be in degrees because the range of arctan lies between -90 and +90 (degrees) and even if you simplify the LHS, you get tan-1x=180, (x is anything which remains after applying identities) and 180 degrees is out of range. Is my reasoning correct?

range of phi is -1.5pi to 1.5 pi.so obviously 180 is degree
 
what i meant was phi can't be greater than 1.5pi and can't be less than -1.5pi.see there are 3 arctan terms.

Ah, thanks for rectifying. I was just confused by the solution i was doing for this problem.

Suppose you have three arctangents, all with equal argument, A. Then you have:

-tan^{-1}(A)-tan^{-1}(A)-tan^{-1}(A)=-180^\circ\ .

Then you have tan-1(A) = 60° .

No problem with that!

If you let u = ω/105, then ω/104 = 10u and ω/(2∙105) = u/2 .

That leaves you with

\displaystyle -\tan^{-1}(10u)-\tan^{-1}(u)-\tan^{-1}(u/2)=-180^\circ\ .

That looks a bit less intimidating.

WolframAlpha gives an exact solution for u, but doesn't show a method.
