AI Thread Summary
To solve the system of transcendental equations, the user is attempting to find theta (θ) and subsequently W. The equations provided include trigonometric functions and constants, leading to a derived equation: sin(θ) - cos(θ) = -50. There is a suggestion that a calculator tool may assist in determining theta without guesswork. The user is reminded to consider the coefficients in the equations during simplification. The discussion emphasizes the importance of careful manipulation of the equations to find accurate solutions.

Homework Statement



I need to find theta (0) and with that I can find W but I am not sure how to I think I am on the right track but I am stumped now and apparently there's a tool on calculators to help you with finding theta rather than guessing. Here are the given equations

0.5TDAsin0=0
0.866TDA-W=0
0.5TDAcos0=50

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



So i did equation 1 minus equation 3 to eliminate 0.5T.. which gave me

sin0-cos0=-50

Is this the right track? can it even equal -50??

0=Theta when placed beside sin and cos, not zero.

You used row operations to simplify the system, which is quite all right, but you forgot about the coefficient that was attached to each equation. ;)
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
