hence 'im stuck' :p

I know i shouldnt have even gone there..., so do you think it was something to do with not converting tanx to sin/cos ?
or just some arithmetic?

Cancelling is a big nono ;)

4tan(x)-4tan3(x)-12tan(x)=0
take tan(x) as a factor
tan(x)(-8-4tan2(x))=0
tan(x)=0 or -8-4tan2(x)=0
x=0 or tan2(x)=2
x=0, or   or no solution

So x=0, ,

EDIT: forgot sols

legend! thanks bro!

just ah... wouldnt:
 -8-4tan2(x)=0
 -4tan2(x)=0 +8
 tan2(x)= 8 /-4
tan2(x)=-2 ?

so yeah no solution because u cant take the sq.root of a negative number anyways!


And thanks alot guys, will remember this for next time! :D

YES! I did it in my head, and didn't type it, I've lost it already :(. Stupid holidays :|

Bhootnike:
ok sweet, atleast im getting something right ahaha... yaya.

thanks again guyss

Bhootnike:
Was wondering what other people's approach to this question is :

Use vector methods to prove that the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle
is equidistant from all vertices.
