    Section 4.6

    Let me see.

    tan x = 7/d

    Solve for d.

    d•tan x = (7/d)d

    d•tan x = 7

    d = 7/tan x

    d(x) = 7/tan x

    1. Correct function?

    2. I now must graph d(x). Yes?

    Wolfram has two graphs. Which one corresponds to d(x)?

    both, one has x from -3.1 to 3.1 (zoom in version) and the other one has x from -12.6 to 12.6

    Thank you. I will do my best to squeeze some math questions into my night later on. Please, check out your PM in 60 minutes. I will reply to your answers. I also need to ask you a question about breaking a lease legally.
