Answer:2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom cannot be any smaller
Firstly start by getting the common factors between 1 and 4 in 1/4 and 11 and 8 in 11/8. The common factor is 1 in 1/4 and 1 in 11/8. 1÷1/4÷1= 1/4. 11÷1/8÷1 = 11/8.
1/4÷ 11/8 =2/11.
(tan²(<em>θ</em>) cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>))
Recall that
tan(<em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) / cos(<em>θ</em>)
so cos²(<em>θ</em>) cancels with the cos²(<em>θ</em>) in the tan²(<em>θ</em>) term:
(sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>))
Recall the double angle identity for cosine,
cos(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1
so the 1 in the denominator also vanishes:
(sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>))
Recall the Pythagorean identity,
cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1
which means
sin²(<em>θ</em>) - 1 = -cos²(<em>θ</em>):
-cos²(<em>θ</em>) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>))
Cancel the cos²(<em>θ</em>) terms to end up with
(tan²(<em>θ</em>) cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1) / (1 + cos(2<em>θ</em>)) = -1/2
This awnser is 309 and has 11.22 as the fraction
