Use the given information to evaluate each expression. cos(φ) = 4/5,(0° < φ < 90°)
do you have any idea how to start?
no...
what are we supposed to be looking for here?
are we looking for the angle, the other trig functions, what??
sorry sin(2φ)
cos(2φ) tan(2φ)
i got it give me a sec
so i got: \[\sin2\phi=24/25\] \[\cos2\phi=7/25\] \[\tan2\phi=24/7\]
and they are all positive since the values lie in the first quadrent
can you should me how you got the answer?
okay first we have to extablis something, we are looking for \[0\le2\phi \le90\]. Solving this inequality we get:\[0\le \phi \le45\]
This means that we are working in the first quadrent, which denotes that all trig functions are positive okay
Now, we want sin2x, cos2x, and tan2x. These allow us to use the double angle fromulas. sin2x=2sinxcosx cos2x=cos^2x-sin^2x and Tan2x=(2tanx)/(1-tan^2x)
now we also know that we are given taht cosx=4/5, which should automatically denote a 3-4-5 triangle. This will then make sinx=3/5 and tanx=3/4
Now all we havet to do is crunch out the equations plugging in the corresponding values into each double angle formula
sin2x=2(3/5)(4/5)=24/5
cos2x=(4/5)^2-(3/5)^2=16/25-9/25=7/25
tan2x=2(3/4)/2-(3/4)^2=(3/2)/(1-9/16)=(3/2)*(16/7)=24/7
and thats that
satisfied??
yes. Thank you.
