How do you solve for the exact value of tan 2 pi?
tan 2 pi = tan 360º = 0
If for a triangle abc tan a-b plus tan b-c plus tan c-a equals 0 then what can you say about the triangle?
tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) + tan (C-A)=0 tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) - tan (A-C)=0 tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) = tan (A-C) (A-B) + (B-C) = A-C So we can solve tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) = tan (A-C) by first solving tan x + tan y = tan (x+y) and then substituting x = A-B and y = B-C. tan (x+y) = (tan x + tan y)/(1 - tan x tan y) So tan x + tan y = (tan x + tan y)/(1 - tan x tan y) (tan x + tan y)tan x tan y = 0 So, tan x = 0 or tan y = 0 or tan x = - tan y tan(A-B) = 0 or tan(B-C) = 0 or tan(A-B) = - tan(B-C) tan(A-B) = 0 or tan(B-C) = 0 or tan(A-B) = tan(C-B) A, B and C are all angles of a triangle, so are all in the range (0, pi). So A-B and B-C are in the range (- pi, pi). At this point I sketched a graph of y = tan x (- pi < x < pi) By inspection I can see that: A-B = 0 or B-C = 0 or A-B = C-B or A-B = C-B +/- pi A = B or B = C or A = C or A = C +/- pi But A and C are both in the range (0, pi) so A = C +/- pi has no solution So A = B or B = C or A = C A triangle ABC has the property that tan (A-B) + tan (B-C) + tan (C-A)=0 if and only if it is isosceles (or equilateral).
Find the value of tan 180 plus 15?
For tan(180 degrees), this is simply sin(180 degrees)/cos(180 degrees). To find these values, note that 180 degrees is the leftmost point on the unit circle, at y=0, x=-1, so is tan(180 degrees)=0/-1=0. Then adding 15 gives 15.
What is the value of tan 48degrees19 23?
= tan (48.323 deg) = 1.1232
What is the value of tan 30?
tan (30 degrees) would be equal to 0.577350269.
