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>

Jill got an 85% on a math test if there were 40 questions in total,how many did she get wrong?
GrogVix [38]
You can solve this by setting up a proportion. You can put the number of items correct over the total number. and substitute the unknown number with x.

\frac{85}{100} = \frac{x}{40}   Cross-multiply
3400 = 100x   Divide both sides by 100
34 = x

40 - 34 = 6

So, Jill got 6 questions wrong.

I'm pretty sure the answer is T/LS=x or in other words T divided by LS equals x.

Which function could be represented by the graph on the coordinate plane? 
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

The axis of symmetry is equal to

x=h

In this problem the parabola open upward

so

the coefficient a is positive

The coordinates of the vertex will be (h,-k) (the y-coordinate is negative)

so

the equation will be of the form

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k
