Using addition formula solve tan 15​

Mathematics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

2 - \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formula for tangent

tan(A - B) = \frac{tanA-tanB}{1+tanAtanB} and the exact values

tan45° = 1 , tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then

tan15° = tan(60 - 45)°

tan(60 - 45)°

= \frac{tan60-tan45}{1+tan60tan45}

= \frac{\sqrt{3}-1 }{1+\sqrt{3} }

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

The conjugate of 1 + \sqrt{3} is 1 - \sqrt{3}

= \frac{(\sqrt{3}-1)(1-\sqrt{3})  }{(1+\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3})  } ← expand numerator/denominator using FOIL

= \frac{\sqrt{3}-3-1+\sqrt{3}  }{1-3}

= \frac{-4+2\sqrt{3} }{-2}

= \frac{-4}{-2} + \frac{2\sqrt{3} }{-2}

= 2 - \sqrt{3}

I don’t understand this subject at all if you wold answer that would be a big help
Digiron [165]

Answer:

d= 8.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion.

\boxed{\dfrac{AW}{MZ}=\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}}

To find the value of x,

\dfrac{AJ}{MJ}=\dfrac{WJ}{ZJ}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}=\dfrac{d}{10}\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{7}*10=d

d = 8.6 ft

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-3,5) and (4,3)?
AnnyKZ [126]

to find a slope you subtract the y value of the 2nd point from the y value of the 1st point then you devide that by the difference of the x value of the 2nd point subtracted from the x value of the 1st point. so 5-3 devided by -3-4, 5-3=2, -3-4=-7. so m = 2/-7 is your slope. the slope is usually represented with the letter m.

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

4.36 Stats final scores. Each year about 1500 students take the introductory statistics course at a large university. This year
velikii [3]

Answer:

The distribution of scores on this final exam is left-skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pearson Mode Skewness to solve this question. It states that:

If the median is higher than the mean, the distribution is left-skewed.

If the median is lower than the mean, the distribution is right-skewed.

If the median is the same as the mean, the distribution is symmetric.

In this problem, we have that:

Median = 74

Mean = 70

Median higher than the mean

So the distribution of scores on this final exam is left-skewed.
