I got -1/sqrt 2
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
correct?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
sin(a)/1+cos(a)
\[\frac{ \frac{ -1 }{ \sqrt{2} } }{ 1+\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} } }\]
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
multiplied the 1 by sqrt2/sqrt2
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
added it up, crossed out the sqrt of 2

\[\frac{ -\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} } }{1-\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} } }\]
OpenStudy (amorfide):
\[\frac{ -1 }{ \sqrt{2}-1 }\]
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
thats it?
OpenStudy (amorfide):
yeah that is exac t answer

is my friend also right? also, how can i check my answer is correct using a calculator?
OpenStudy (amorfide):
do tan112.5 on a calculator and match it to your answer
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
im not getting the same answer
OpenStudy (amorfide):
yes your friend is correct
OpenStudy (amorfide):
the answer you gave was wrong, I gave the right answer

OpenStudy (dtan5457):
no i mean checking on the calculator
OpenStudy (amorfide):
tan(112.5) in degrees gives you -2.414
the answer I gave you gives you -1-sqrt(2) which is the same answer
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
oh yeah, i got it now. thanks again.
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
i should stop studying for 3 tests at once
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
