Use angle difference identity to find the exact value.1. tan 15 degrees

2. tan -105 degrees

Answers

Hello,

1)
tan (a-b)=(tan a - tan b)/(1+tan a tan b)

15=45-30
tan 45°= (√2/2)/(√2/2)=1
tan 30°=(1/2)/(√3/2)=√3/3
tan (45°-30°)= (1-√3/3)/(1+1*√3/3)=(3-√3)/(3+√3)=(3-√3)²/6=2-√3

tan (-105°)=tan (75°)= tan (60°+15°)=(tan 60+tan15°)/(1-tan 60°*tan 15°)

tan 15°=2-√3
tan 60°=√3°
tan (-105°)=(√3+2-√3)/(1-√3*(2-√3))=2/(1-2√3+3)=1/(2-√3)=2+√3

In January, a bookstore sells 450 books, but in February, it sells only 300 books. What is the percent of change from January to February?66.7%
-33.3%
50%
-50%

Answers

Answer:

- 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of books sold  on January = 450,

While, the number of books sold on February = 300

Thus, the percent of change from January to February = \frac{\text{books sold on February-books sold on January}}{\text{books sold on January}}* 100

=(300-450)/(450)* 100

=-(15000)/(450)

\approx -33.33\%

Second option is correct.

January : 450 books
February : 300 books

the difference of Jan to Feb = 300 - 450 = -150
the percent of change = -150/450 x 100% = -33,3 %

Which of the following sums would be under the radical symbol to find the distance between the points (7, -1) and (-8, -9)?

Answers


Sadly, you didn't put any sums on your list of choices. 
In fact, I can't even find a list of choices !

To find the distance between  (7, -1)  and  (-8, -9),
you would build a sum under a square-root (radical)
symbol, and it would look something like this:

Find value of X in the given right triangle.

Answers

Answer:

44.4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a right angled triangle so

with reference angle x

perpendicular (p) = 7

hypotenuse (h) = 10

so Now

sin x = p/h

sin x = 7 / 10

x = sin^-1( 7/ 10)

x = 44.42°

Rounding to nearest tenth

= 44.4°

Answer:

7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

you use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. a^2+b^2=c^2.

you are finding value of b plug the variables in = 7^2+b^2=10^2

=49+b^2=100

subtract 49 from both sides

b^2=51

Square root of 51 =7.141 round to nearest tenth =7.1
