By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7

nine yards of ribbon are cut into 8 equal pieces. what is the length of each piece of ribbon? write a division expression to rep
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>Each piece length will be 1/8 part of the whole piece, so as the total length is 9 yards then we will have that the lengh of each piece is one and eighth yard. The division expression is as follows: Piece length = 9 * 1/8 = 9/8 = (8+1)/8 = 8/8+1/8 = 1 + 1/8 = 1 + 0.125 = 1.125 yards</span>

How does the graph of f(x) = (x − 8)3 + 4 compare to the parent function g(x) = x3?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Hi there!

The difference between f(x) = 3(x-8) +4 and its parent function is: the function has been shifted right eight units and shifted up four units.

Step-by-step explanation:

---anytime there is a number within a parenthesis for example (x-a) or (x+a) means there is a horizontal shift

*subtracting means you shift to the right, adding means you shift to the left.

----The number outside of the parenthesis for example (x)+a or (x)-a means there is a vertical shift

*subtracting means you are shifting down, adding means you are shifting up
