Answer:

These type of questions are super tricky b/c you have to remember all the different versions of the identities, and then they put the question in some odd form,  I feel like this should land math professors in jail , for dishonesty , b/c it's really a form of "how tricky can I make a question and still have a way to solve it"   anyway,

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

next the question asks   1-cos 2A   and this is total abuse of notation.   the way this should be written is   1- cos( 2A)  so we know that the A is part of the cosine functions input... btw.. in any computer program,  it would never ever let you get away with that top form of the expression.  :/   anyway... I keep ranting.. huh... sorry  :P

1-cos(2A) is an odd form of the identity  1/2(1-cos(2A) = sin^{2}(A)  the 1/2 is missing but we can add that pretty easy, we just have to remember to take it out too. I usually forget to do that. and my professor marks me off completely,  totally wrong, but I just miss one small thing  :/  anyway....

our 1-cos(2A) needs the 1/2 added to it.  or if we move that 1/2 to the other side it looks like  2*sin^{2}(A)  = 1-cos(2A)  and this is that "odd" from of the identity that I was talking about.  

next let's deal with sin(2A)  it has an identity of  2 sin(A)cos(A) which is really nice for us b/c it will cancel out the 2 in then numerator for us, nice !

now our fraction looks like  [2* sin^{2}(A)] / 2 sin(A)cos(A)

so cancel out one of the sines

2*sin(A) / 2 cos(A)

cancel the 2s

Sin(A) / Cos(A) = Tan(A)

nice  it worked out  :P

b)

by the above that we just worked out, then

Tan(15) = Sin(15) / Cos(15)

I had to look up what sin of 15 is b/c it's not one of those special angles but it does have an exact form of

Sin(15) = (√3 - 1) / 2√2

Cos(A) = (√3 + 1) / 2√2

you can use rule of Cos(A-B) = Cos(A)Cos(B)+Sin(A)Sin(B) to get the above and a similar rule for Sin(A-B)

back to our problem,  the 2√2 will cancel out

then we have

Tan(15) =  (√3 - 1) /(√3 + 1)

in the form that is above that's exact, the roots could be approximated but i'll just leave that in the form that is exact.  Most math professors like that form.

The difference between 11.0 and 12.5 is 1.5 and same with 12.5 and 14.0, so 1.5 is what the hair increases by every THREE months but if you want to find PER month, you are going to divide 1.5 by those 3 months to get .5 inches per month, so your slope will be 1/2
