Got nerd sniped again...lol. Not a horrible problem and there's two ways to solve it.
#math #nerdsnipe

Given "3 sine theta plus 4 cosine theta equals 5", solve for the tangent of theta.

Last nerd snipe of the week which got me browsing through my YouTube feed:
Find all primes `p` such that `p^2 2` is also prime.
#math #nerdsnipe

An image that says: "Find all primes `p` such that `p^2 + 2` is also prime."

Another nerd snipe for today: solve the definite integral from 0 to pi for the sine of 2x times the cosine of x dx. This one took a minute for me, but got the answer two different ways. Still a nice way to exercise integration techniques and trig identities.
