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

Neil wants to join three pieces of metal to form a right triangle. which of the following lengths could be used? please use step
vichka [17]

Answer: G. 12.5, 7.5, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the lengths of metal that could be used to form the tight angle triangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

The hypotenuse is the longest side while the opposite and adjacent sides are the shorter side. Therefore,

F.

8² = 4² + 4²

64 = 16 + 16 = 32

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

G.

12.5² = 7.5² + 10²

156.25 = 56.25 + 100 = 156.25

A right angle triangle can be formed because they are equal.

H.

23² = 11² + 9²

529 = 121 + 81 = 202

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

J.

96² = 12.5² + 6²

9216 = 156.25 + 36 = 192.25

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

Write 2,670,000 in scientific notation.
hjlf
Scientific notation is just rewritten so that it has a single digit in front of the decimal and that this is multiplied by a power of ten that makes this decimal equal to the original number.

In this case we have 2.67 million.  Well a million is equal to 10^6, because 10*10*10*10*10*10=one million.

So in scientific notation you would write:

2.67X10^6
