Find the sine cosine and tangent of the half angle 2 based o
Find the sine, cosine and tangent of the half angle /2, based on the given information on . Use exact values.
#10.) tan = 7/24, 3 < < 2
#12.) = arccos(5/13)
Can someone walk me through these 2 problems? I\'m struggling on what to do.
Solution
10 . tan = -7/24 , -3pi< < -2pi
is IVrth quadrant
cos = 24/25
Now use th double angle formula:
cos = 2cos^2(/2) -1
cos(/2) = sqrt{(1+cos)/2} = sqrt{(1+24/25)/2} = +/- 7/5sqrt2
cos = 1- 2sin^2(/2)
sin(/2) = sqrt{( 1- cos)/2} = sqrt{(1 -24/25/2} = +/-1/5sqrt2
tan(/2) = sin(/2)/cos(/2) = 1/7
12) = arccos(-5/13)
Range of arccos [0, pi]
cos = -5/13 ; is IInd quadrant
sin = 12/13
cos = 2cos^2(/2) -1
cos(/2) = sqrt{(1+cos)/2} = sqrt( 1+ (-5/13))/2) = 2/sqrt13
sin(/2) = sqrt{(1-cos)/2} = sqrt( 1 -(-5/13))/2) = 3/sqrt13
tan(/2) = sin(/2)/cos(/2) = 3/2
