RE: Solve a quadratic with trigonometric values in degrees

From there, it is only a minor mental effort to come up with d = 2500/(3*9.81). Why on earth would you need a CAS to solve that? IMO, this is an example of the dangers of symbolic calculators in the classroom. I know... "OK, Boomer"... Ceci n'est pas une signature. |
