Find the exact value of tan 15 degrees

Mathematics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
4 0
<span>tan(15) = 
sin(15) / cos(15) = 
sin(45 - 30) / cos(45 - 30) = 
[ sin(45)cos(30) - sin(30)cos(45) ] / [ cos(45)cos(30) + sin(45)sin(30)] 

Since sin(45) = cos(45) = √2/2, you can just factor that out from the top and bottom 
[ cos(30) - sin(30) ] / [ cos(30) + sin(30)] 
[ √3/2 - 1/2 ] / [ √3/2 + 1/2] 
(√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1) 
(√3 - 1)^2 / (√3+1)(√3 - 1) 
(√3 - 1)^2 / (3 - 1) 
(3 - 2√3 +1) / 2 
2 - √3 

There's also a formula for tan(a-b), but I couldn't remember it off hand.</span>

A study wanted to compare the 50 states food expenditures. The researchers measured the amount spent by the state's entire popul
fgiga [73]

Answer:

D - Type of restaurant - fast food or more expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

By a lurking variable we mean or refer to any variable that is unknown and not controlled for or out of individual control. When there is one or more lurking variables in any study it could results in accidental bias. According to Soares (1985), lurking variables are intrinsic and they are not actually caused by “accidents” in real sense. Hence he suggests that “lurking-variable bias” is a more suitable name for accidental bias.

Concluding that individuals who spend a lot on groceries also spend a lot at restaurants could be misleading in the sense that, groceries may have a more uniform price than restaurant regardless of your social class. For instance, type of restaurant could determine food cost. At some restaurant, food is quite expensive at another food is quite affordable. I may not to go any groceries store in a month but I patronize restaurant to eat daily.

It is also possible I don't patronize restaurants! And yet, I am frequent at groceries store.

In real sense, what I spent at groceries might be nothing compare to what I spend at restaurant and vice versa. Hence, the possible lurking variable is type of restaurant - fast food or more expensive which is unknown and not controlled for.

How are solving equations and solving inequalities the same? How are they different?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The only difference is: If you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same negative number, the equation remains the same, but If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same negative number, the inequality reverses. !!!!!
