Answer:

[C]  tan22.5 = \sqrt{2} - 1

Answer:

\sqrt{2} -1

Step-by-step explanation:

22.5 degrees is half of 45 degrees (special angle for which we know exactly the value of all three basic trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).

So we start recalling the formula for tangent of a half angle: tan(\frac{\alpha }{2} )= \frac{1-cos(\alpha) }{sin(\alpha) }

We need just the values of:

sin(\alpha )=sin(45^o)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

and of

cos(\alpha )=cos(45^o)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

to answer the question. Then, we use those values in the original formula for tangent of a half angle:

tan(\frac{\alpha }{2} )= \frac{1-cos(\alpha) }{sin(\alpha) }\\tan(22.5^o)=\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} }{\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}} =\frac{2-\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} } =\frac{2\sqrt{2}-2 }{2} =\sqrt{2} -1

Expand (x-2) (x-1). Must be in polynomial form.
Ludmilka [50]
To expand two terms such as these, we can use the method called FOIL (stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last). Here is what I mean:

We have two terms: (x - 2)(x - 1)

We should first multiply the First two terms of each term in order to complete the F stage:

(x)*(x) = x^{2}

So then, we take the two outer terms and multiply them together to complete the O stage:

(x)*(-1) = -x

So far we have two things that we have calculated; at the end of the FOIL process we will have four.

To keep going with the FOIL, we now multiply the two inner terms to complete the I stage:

(-2)*(x) = -2x

Last but not least, we need to complete the L stage - so we multiply the two last terms of each term:

(-2)*(-1) = 2

Now that we have our four terms, let us add them together and combine like terms:

x^{2}  + (-x) + (-2x) + 2

Since -x and -2x both have the x portion in common and they are added together, we can add them to create one single term:

-x + (-2x) = -3x

So now that we have our terms completed, we can combine into one polynomial equation:

x^{2} + (-3x) + 2 or x^{2} -3x+2
