Solve |2x + 1|

To draw the graph of |2x + 1| >3, remember
that


|2x +1| = 2x + 1 , when 2x + 1 >
0


and -(2x + 1) when 2x + 1 <
0


So we have two inequations
here.


2x + 1 > 3, for 2x + 1>
0


=> 2x > 2 and 2x >
-1


x > 1 satisfies
both


-(2x + 1) > 3 for 2x + 1 <
0


=> 2x + 1 <
3


=> 2x < 2 and x <
-1/2


=> x < -1/2 satisfies
both.


So the required graph would have all
values of x with x > 1 and x < -1/2

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
