Find tan (22.5)

Answer: #-1 + sqrt2#

Explanation:

Call tan (22.5) = tan t --> tan 2t = tan 45 = 1

Use trig identity: # tan 2t = (2tan t)/(1 - tan^2 t)# (1)

#tan 2t = 1 = (2tan t)/(1 - tan^2 t)# -->
--> #tan^2 t + 2(tan t) - 1 = 0#
Solve this quadratic equation for tan t.

#D = d^2 = b^2 - 4ac = 4 + 4 = 8# --> #d = +- 2sqrt2#
There are 2 real roots:
tan t = -b/2a +- d/2a = -2/1 + 2sqrt2/2 = - 1 +- sqrt2
Answer:
#tan t = tan (22.5) = - 1 +- sqrt2#
Since tan 22.5 is positive, then take the positive answer:
tan (22.5) = - 1 + sqrt2

Find one length of the square (7x-3) 3(x+1)
Svetllana [295]

Area of a square = Side × Side

Side = 7x-3

Area of the square = (7x-3) × (7x-3)

= 7x(7x-3) -3(7x-3)

= 49x^2 -21x -21x +9

=49x^2 -42x +9

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$11,280

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 150 as p into the equation to solve for the cost, C:

C = 30 + 75p

C = 30 + 75(150)

C = 30 + 11,250

C = 11,280

= $11,280
