Q. Suppose that sinα=133 and 0∘<α<90∘. Find the exact values of cos(2α) and tan(2α). cos(2α)=tan(2α)=
Given information: We are given that sin(α)=133 and α is in the first quadrant 0∘<α<90∘. To find cos(α/2) and tan(α/2), we can use the half-angle formulas for sine and cosine. The half-angle formula for cosine is:cos(α/2)=±(21+cos(α))Since α is in the first quadrant, cos(α) will be positive, and so will cos(α/2). We need to find cos(α) first.
Find cos(α): To find cos(α), we use the Pythagorean identity:sin2(α)+cos2(α)=1(133)2+cos2(α)=1139+cos2(α)=1cos2(α)=1−139cos2(α)=134cos(α)=±134Since α is in the first quadrant, cos(α) is positive, so cos(α)0.
Find cos(α/2): Now we can find cos(α/2) using the half-angle formula:cos(α/2)=(1+cos(α))/2cos(α/2)=(1+2/13)/2cos(α/2)=(13+2)/213cos(α/2)=(13+2)/(213)cos(α/2)=((13+2)13)/(21313)cos(α/2)=((13+2)13/26)cos(α/2)=(13+213)/26cos(α/2)=(13+213)/26
Find tan(α/2): Next, we find tan(α/2) using the half-angle formula for tangent, which is:tan(α/2)=±(1−cos(α))/(1+cos(α))Since α is in the first quadrant, tan(α/2) will also be positive. We already found cos(α)=132, so we can substitute it into the formula:tan(α/2)=(1−132)/(1+132)tan(α/2)=(13−2)/(13+2)tan(α/2)=(13−2)13/(13+2)13tan(α/2)=(13−213)/(13+213)tan(α/2)=(13−213)/(13+213)
