Question

Can someone tell me what that n symbol next to pi is. What is it called? Picture attached.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It's like saying there are infinite solutions

(n) is number of times going around

Ex.

pi/6 is a solution also,

pi/6 +2pi still brings you back to same position, but also

pi/6 +2pi + 2 pi or pi/6 + 2pi (2) going around twice

pi/6 + 2pi (3) going around 3 times.

It's saying you have pi/6 as a solution + everytime you go around the circle 2pi , n times.

Answer 2

In the mathematical expression 2πn, "n" typically represents an integer variable, which can take on any whole number value (positive, negative, or zero). In this case, it's positive.

When used in this context, 2πn represents a sequence of values that are evenly spaced at intervals of 2π, and infinitely repeats every 2π. For example, if n takes on the values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., then the corresponding values of 2πn would be 0, 2π, 4π, 6π, 8π, 10π, ..., respectively.
