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>

Michael’s haircut was 14.00 he gave a tip of 3.50 what percentage did Michael leave as a tip
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

D. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways that I do this. Both of them are probably not what your teacher tells you, but hey, I got the right answer.

The first method is to go through the answers and do 14 x .10, 14 x .20, and so on until you get 3.50.

The second method is to do 14/3.5, which equals 4. This means 14 can be broken up into 3.50 four times. So, 3.50 is 1/4 of 14. What is 1/4 of 100%? 25%.
