Find the exact value of tangent of 2 theta given sine of theta = 3 over 5 and theta is between 0 and pi over 2. \n" ); document.write( "======= \n" ); document.write( "Note:: x and y are both positive in QI \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "By definition, sin = y/r \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Since sin = 3/5, y = 3 and r = 5 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Then x = sqrt[5^2-3^2] = 4 \n" ); document.write( "So, tan(t) = y/x = 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Note:: tan(2t) = (2*tan(t))/(1-tan^2(t)) \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Ans: [2(3/4)]/[1-(3/4)^2] = (3/2)/[1-9/16] = (3/2)*(16/7) = 24/7 = 3 3/7 \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( " |
