Answer:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the following identity to help with the difference inside the tangent function there:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}

Let a=\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3}).

With some restriction on a this means:

\sin(a)=\frac{2}{3}

We need to find \tan(a).

\sin^2(a)+\cos^2(a)=1 is a Pythagorean Identity I will use to find the cosine value and then I will use that the tangent function is the ratio of sine to cosine.

(\frac{2}{3})^2+\cos^2(a)=1

\frac{4}{9}+\cos^2(a)=1

Subtract 4/9 on both sides:

\cos^2(a)=\frac{5}{9}

Take the square root of both sides:

\cos(a)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}

\cos(a)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}

The cosine value is positive because a is a number between -\frac{\pi}{2} and \frac{\pi}{2} because that is the restriction on sine inverse.

So we have \cos(a)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}.

This means that \tan(a)=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}.

Multiplying numerator and denominator by 3 gives us:

\tan(a)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}

Rationalizing the denominator by multiplying top and bottom by square root of 5 gives us:

\tan(a)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}

Let's continue on to letting b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7}).

Let's go ahead and say what the restrictions on b are.

b is a number in between 0 and \pi.

So anyways b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7}) implies \cos(b)=\frac{1}{7}.

Let's use the Pythagorean Identity again I mentioned from before to find the sine value of b.

\cos^2(b)+\sin^2(b)=1

(\frac{1}{7})^2+\sin^2(b)=1

\frac{1}{49}+\sin^2(b)=1

Subtract 1/49 on both sides:

\sin^2(b)=\frac{48}{49}

Take the square root of both sides:

\sin(b)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{48}{49}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{48}}{7}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{16}\sqrt{3}}{7}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}

So since b is a number between 0 and \pi, then sine of this value is positive.

This implies:

\sin(b)=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}

So \tan(b)=\frac{\sin(b)}{\cos(b)}=\frac{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}}{\frac{1}{7}}.

Multiplying both top and bottom by 7 gives:

\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{1}= 4\sqrt{3}.

Let's put everything back into the first mentioned identity.

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{1+\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}

Let's clear the mini-fractions by multiply top and bottom by the least common multiple of the denominators of these mini-fractions. That is, we are multiplying top and bottom by 5:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2 \sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+2\sqrt{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}

NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!! The provided diagram of triangle ABC will help you to prove that the base angles of an isosceles triangl
Lunna [17]

Answer: The proof is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Δ ABC is isosceles triangle.

Therefore, AB = BC

Prove: Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

In Δ ABO and Δ ACO,

∠ BAO ≅ ∠ CAO  ( AO bisects ∠ BAC )

∠ AOB ≅ ∠ AOC ( AO is perpendicular to BC )

BO ≅ OC ( O is the mid point of BC)

Thus, By ASA postulate of congruence,

Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

Therefore, By CPCTC,

∠B ≅ ∠ C

Where ∠ B and ∠ C are the base angles of Δ ABC.

Lydia writes the equation below with a missing value.
Alex73 [517]

If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Lydia writes the equation y = 5x - __ with a missing value.

She puts a value in the box and says that the equation represents a direct variation.

We have to choose the correct option from the given options that explain that the equation could represent a direct variation.

When two variables are such that one is a constant multiple of the other, we said they are in Direct variation.

<h3>What is the direct variation?</h3>

In form of y = ax, where y and x are in direct variation.

Consider the given equation y = 5x  - __

For the equation to be in direct variation the value of the missing term has to be 0.

then the equation becomes,

y = 5x

Thus, If she puts 0 in the box she would have a direct variation.

Option (a) is correct.
