Answer:

12/19 or 0.6315

Step-by-step explanation:

You see that the denominator of 3/4 is 4 and the numerator of 16/19 is 16 both 4 and 16 are common factors, so you can reduce this to 3x4/19 then multiply 3/1 x 4/19 to give you 12/ 19 because 3x4 is 12 and 1x19 is 19.

Answer:

$tan(x)=\frac{44\sqrt{89}}{89}$

Step-by-step explanation:

tan is defined as: $tan(x)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

sin is defined as: $sin(x)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

cos is defined as: $cos(x)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

We can also define tan as: $tan(x)=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

because plugging in the definitions of sin and cos in we get: $tan(x)=\frac{(\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse})}{(\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse})}\\\\tan(x)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}*\frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}\\\\tan(x)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

which you'll notice is the original definition of tan(x)

So using this definition of tan(x) we can use the givens sin(x) and cos(x) to find tan(x)

$sin(x)=\frac{44}{45}\\\\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{89}}{45}\\\\tan(x)=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

plugging in sin(x) and cos(x) we get:

$tan(x)=\frac{\frac{44}{45}}{\frac{\sqrt{89}}{45}}\\\\tan(x)=\frac{44}{45}*\frac{45}{\sqrt{89}}\\\\tan(x)=\frac{44}{\sqrt{89}}$

We usually don't like square roots in the denominator, and from here we want to rationalize the denominator which we do by removing the square root from the denominator.

We can do this by multiplying the fraction by: $\frac{\sqrt{89}}{\sqrt{89}}$ which doesn't change the value of the fraction since it simplifies to 1, but it gets rid of the square root in the denominator
