So the orginial question asked what angle to fire a gun to hit a moving target, and i got all the way to 40sinθcosθ-10sinθ-1 = 0, but we aren't supposed to use calculators so how would you solve this by hand. Thanks!
A trigonometric equation is an equation that contains at least one trigonometric function, such as sine, cosine, or tangent. The goal of solving a trigonometric equation is to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
When trying to hit a moving target, it is important to know the angle or direction at which to aim. Trigonometric equations can help us determine this angle by using the properties of triangles and the relationships between the sides and angles.
