Half angle tan 5pi/8

The half-angle formula for tangent is:

tan(a/2) = (sin a / (1 + cos a)) = ((1 - cos a) / sin a)

Now we can plug in values:

tan(5π/8) = (sin(5π/4) / (1 + cos(5π/4)) = ((1 - cos(5π/4)) / sin(5π/4)

tan(5π/8) = (-√2/2) / (1 + (-√2/2)) = (1 - (-√2/2)) / (-√2/2)

tan(5π/8) = ((-√2/2)) / ((2 - √2)/2) = ((2 + √2)/2) / (-√2/2)

Now we can solve the first half:

(-√2/2)(2 / (2 - √2))
(-√2/2)((4 + 2√2) / 2)
(-√2/2)(2 + √2)
(-2√2 - 2)/2
-√2 - 1

tan(5pi/8) = -√2 - 1

wendy thinks the perfect chocolate chip cookie has 353535 chocolate chips for every 555 cookies. cookie club makes cookies with

amid [387]

The chocolate chip cookies of the cookie's club are not perfect according to Wendy, as the ratio of the chocolate chips to the cookies is more than that of a perfect cookie.

To solve this problem we have to learn about ratio. A ratio is an ordered pair written as $\frac{a}{b}$ or a:b where $b\neq 0$ . It can also be defined as the number of times one number is contained in another number.

In the given problem Wendy thinks that a 353535 chocolate chips are essential for 555 cookies so that each cookie is perfect. Now let us find the ratio of the chocolate chips for each cookie.

Ratio= $\frac{353535}{555}$
