(tan(22.5))/(1-tan^2(22.5))

Solution

\frac{tan ( 22. 5 ^{\circ} )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( 22. 5 ^{\circ} )}

Solution

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.5

Solution steps

\frac{tan ( 22. 5 ^{\circ} )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( 22. 5 ^{\circ} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (22. 5^{\circ}) = 3 - 22

tan (22. 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1 - cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}{1 + cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}

tan (22. 5^{\circ})

Write

tan (22. 5^{\circ})

tan (\frac{4 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

= tan (\frac{4 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

Use the Half Angle identity:

tan (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}

Use the following identity

tan (θ) = \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Square both sides

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Switch sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) - 1 = - cos (2 θ)

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) = 1 - cos (2 θ)

Divide both sides by

2

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1

Switch sides

2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1 = cos (2 θ)

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) = 1 + cos (2 θ)

Divide both sides by

2

cos^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{\frac{1 - c o s ( 2 θ )}{2}}{\frac{1 + c o s ( 2 θ )}{2}}

Simplify

tan^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{1 + cos ( 2 θ )}

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

tan^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 \cdot \frac{θ}{2} )}{1 + cos ( 2 \cdot \frac{θ}{2} )}

Simplify

tan^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

Square root both sides

Choose the root sign according to the quadrant of

\frac{θ}{2}

range [0, 9 0^{\circ}] [9 0^{\circ}, 18 0^{\circ}] quadrant I II tan positive negative

tan (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{1 + cos ( θ )}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}{1 + cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}{1 + cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}
