What is the exact value of tan ( 5 pi/8 )

<h3>Answer: Choice D) \tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right) = - \sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{1-\sqrt{2}}}\\\\\\</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Make sure your calculator is in radian mode. Use your calculator to find that tan(5pi/8) = -2.41421 which is approximate.

Since the value is negative, this means the answer is between choices C and D. You can use your calculator to compute those expressions given and you should find it matches with choice D.

----------------------

Further explanation:

We can apply the half angle identity for tangent like so

\tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}}\\\\\\\tan\left(\frac{5\pi/4}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(5\pi/4)}{1+\cos(5\pi/4)}}\\\\\\\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right) = -\sqrt{\frac{1-\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)}{1+\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)}}\\\\\\

Simplifying further, we get

\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right) = -\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}}\\\\\\\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{8}\right) = -\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{1-\sqrt{2}}}\\\\\\

In the last step, I multiplied top and bottom of the outer fraction by 2 to clear out the denominators of the inner fraction.

Answer:

y = −3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope

slope = change in y / change in x

slope = ▲y/▲x

slope = -3 / 1

slope = -3

y-intersect = (0,7)

The slope-intercept form of linear equation:-  

y = mx + b

where:

m = the slope

b = y-intersect

*we plot the information we have get in the formula

y = mx + b

y = -3x + 7

*and this is the equation of the graph
