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}

Which of the following is the inverse of y = 12 Superscript x? y = log Subscript one-twelfth Baseline x y = log Subscript 12 Bas
wariber [46]

Answer:

y = lnx/ln12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y = 12^x, to find the inverse of the function, we news to write x as a function of y as shown:

Given y = 12^x

Taking ln of both sides

ln y = ln 12^x

ln y = xln12

Divide both sides by ln12

lny/ln12 = xln12/ln12

x = lny/ln12

x = ln(y-12)

Replacing y with x and x with y

The inverse of the function will be:

y = lnx/ln12

Suppose that the second term of a geometric sequence is 4 and the sixth term is 16. Find the fourth term
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

  • 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given GP</h3>
  • a₂ = 4,
  • a₆ = 16
<h3>To find</h3>
  • a₄ = ?
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • a₂ = ar = 4
  • a₆= ar⁵ = 16

<u>Substitute ar in the second equation</u>

  • ar⁵= 16
  • 4r⁴ = 16
  • r⁴ = 4
  • r = √2

<u>Then finding a₄</u>

  • a₄ = a₂*r² = 4*(√2)² = 4*2= 8
