y = 2
x = 1
z(the hypotenuse) = √(2^2 + 1^2) = √5
Cos(u) = x value / hypotenuse = 1/√5
Sin(u) = y value / hypotenuse = 2/√5
Solve for sin2u
Sin(2u) = 2*sin(u)*cos(u)
Sin(2u) = 2() = 4/5
Solve for cos(2u)
cos(2u) = - sqrt(1 - sin^2(2u))
Cos(2u) = - sqrt(1 - (4/5)^2 )
Cos(2u) = -sqrt(1 - 16/25)
cos(2u) = -sqrt(9/25)
cos(2u) = -3/5
Solve for Tan(2u)
tan(2u) = sin(2u) / cos(2u) = 4/5// - 3/5 = - 0.8/0.6 = - 1.3333 = - 4/3
Notes
One: Notice that you would normally rationalize the denominator, but you don't have to in this case. The formulas are such that they perform the rationalizations themselves.
Two: Notice the sign on the cos(2u). The sin is plus even though the angle (2u) is in the second quadrant. The cos is different. It is about 126 degrees which would make it a negative root (9/25)
Three: If you are uncomfortable with the tan, you could do fractions.
The answer is C) 16 blocks.
We will use the distance formula for this problem:
From your house to the internet cafe:
From the internet cafe to your friend's house:
Together, we have 10.2+5.7=15.9, which rounds to 16 blocks.
