no, i need an exact answer
tan(375 degrees) = 0.267949192
Did you click on the above link?
tan(375 degrees) = 0.267949192
tan(375 degrees) = 0.267949192
yes, but that is not an exact answer. i need a fraction of some sort, not a rounded decimal
if that confused you, haley and i are working together.
tan(375°)
=tan(2π+15°)
=tan(15°)
Since tan(30°)=(√3)/2,
we use
tan(θ/2)=(1-cosθ)/sinθ, or
tan(θ/2)=sinθ/(1+cosθ)
Thus
tan(15°)
=(1-cos(30°))/sin(30°)
=(1-√3/2)/(1/2)
=2-√3
=tan(2π+15°)
=tan(15°)
Since tan(30°)=(√3)/2,
we use
tan(θ/2)=(1-cosθ)/sinθ, or
tan(θ/2)=sinθ/(1+cosθ)
Thus
tan(15°)
=(1-cos(30°))/sin(30°)
=(1-√3/2)/(1/2)
=2-√3
Or...you changed your name to "Haley" because "Christine" posted so many questions.
haha that would be funny, but really there are two of us here (:
