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

John enlarged one side of his square flower bed by 8 ft to make it into a rectangle. The area of the new flower bed is 3 times t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the orignial square's sides to be x, so area of the original figure: x^{2}

The new rectangle's sides will be x and x+8, so the area of the new figure will be x^2+8x.

We know that the new area is 3 times the old one. So our equation will be:

x^2+8x=3x^2

our answer will be x=4.

Therfore, the length of the side of the old flower bed is 4 ft.
