tan ( 1 x 191 ) \tan{\left(\dfrac{1}{x^{191}}\right)} is defined x \forall \ x such that x 191 > a π \left|x^{191}\right| > \dfrac{a}{\pi} . Find a a .


Bonus: Generalize for tan ( 1 x n ) \tan{\left(\dfrac{1}{x^n}\right)} .

Since 1 x 191 \left|\dfrac{1}{x^{191}}\right| is a decreasing function, we can use the fact that tan x \tan{x} is undefined at every ( 2 n + 1 ) π 2 , n Z \dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}{2}, \ n \in \mathbb{Z} .

Therefore, tan x \tan{x} is defined x \forall \ x such that x < π 2 |x| < \dfrac{\pi}{2} .

Thus, 1 x 191 < π 2 x 191 > 2 π a π = 2 π a = 2 \left|\dfrac{1}{x^{191}}\right| < \dfrac{\pi}{2} \implies |x^{191}| > \dfrac{2}{\pi} \\ \therefore \dfrac{a}{\pi} = \dfrac{2}{\pi} \implies a = \ \boxed{2} .

Same for generalization too??

Can you tell me what are the major differences that takes place when we be a brilliant subscriber?

@Md Zuhair You get full access to all the quizzes on the site and stats on your progress in each subject or exploration. The most noticeable difference is that all the annoying green locks disappear.

@Akeel Howell I see, And any change in visual or something?

@Md Zuhair No, everything looks pretty much the same. It's really not a dramatic change.

Oh yes.. such a silly question
