Question

Evaluate the expression under the given conditions. tan(2); cos() = 5 13 , in quadrant i

Answer 1

The solution to given expression tan(2θ) is 22.615°

For given question,

We have been given an expression tan(2θ)

Given that cos(θ) = 5/13, and θ is in quadrant 1.

We know that the trigonometric identity

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

⇒ cos²θ = (5/13)²

⇒ sin²θ = 1 - 25/169

⇒ sin²θ = 169 - (25/169)

⇒ sin²θ = 144/169

⇒ sin(θ) = 12/13

We know that the identity cos(2x) = cos²x - sin²x

⇒ cos(2θ) = cos²θ - sin²θ

⇒ cos(2θ) = 25/169 - 144/169

⇒ cos(2θ) = -119/169

And sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

⇒ sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ)

⇒ sin(2θ) = 2 × 12/13 × 5/13

⇒ sin(2θ) = 120/169

We know that, tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

⇒ tan(2θ) = sin(2θ)/cos(2θ)

⇒ tan(2θ) = (120/169) / (-119/169)

⇒ tan(2θ) = 120 / (-119)

⇒ tan(2θ) = -1.008

Since θ is in quadrant 1, tan(2θ) = 1.008

⇒ 2θ = arctan(1.008)

⇒ 2θ = 45.23

⇒ θ = 22.615°

Therefore, the solution to given expression tan(2θ) is 22.615°
