1. Find x where sin(x) gives the same result when expressed in radians or degrees.

The title is pretty much the question, but for more elaboration..: Define the functions...f(x) = sinx where x is measured in radiansg(x) = sinx where x is measured in degrees.On the same set of axes, draw the graphs of both f(x) and g(x) for 0≤x≤20. Indicate on your graph the smallest positive...
2. Equation to solve a basic problem

Hi, Not sure if I'm at the right place but I need an equation if possible. a – c = 44 (variable) a + b + c is always 100 b is always 53% of b + c what is the formula to calculate the values of a, b & c when the 44 changes? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
