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

The display below shows the number of home runs hit by six of the players on the Cardinals baseball team.
Ket [755]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If each baseball= 4 homeruns, and Chester has 5 baseballs next to his name (20 homeruns), then Evan hit 12 home runs because 4*3= 12 and he has 3 baseballs next to his name.

20-12=8

Is the given sequence arithmetic? If so, identify the common difference. 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 4.1, . . .
sweet [91]
3.5 - 3.2 = 3.8 - 3.5 = 4.1 - 3.8 = 0.3 (common difference)

Given the differential equation

5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0

The solution is as follows:

5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} =2-2x \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2-2x} dx= \frac{1}{t^3} dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow \int {\frac{5}{2-2x} } \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{t^3}} \, dt \\  \\ \Rightarrow- \frac{5}{2} \ln(2-2x)=- \frac{1}{2t^2} +A \\  \\ \Rightarrow\ln(2-2x)= \frac{1}{5t^2} +B\\  \\ \Rightarrow2-2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow 2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=De^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+1
