Chris Hogan 12/10/12 p. 3 Chapter 4 paper In this chapter one of the first things we learned was that you can make complex equations look simpler by making substitutions. Take the equation: 2tan2-3tan-2=0 To make this look simpler you can substitute u for tan to get: 2u2-3u-2=0 From there you can us the quadratic formula to get: u= -0.5‚ 2 With this you can now say tan=2 and tan=-0.5 which makes solving for much easier. In this case substitutions made solving much easier and less
