Q. Find tan(127π) exactly using an angle addition or subtraction formula.[Hint: This diagram of special trigonometry. values may help.].Choose 1 answer:(A) 1+31−3(B) 1−3−1−3(C) 1+3−1+3(D) 1−31+3
Recognize Non-Standard Angle: Recognize that (7π)/12 is not a standard angle for which we have a direct trigonometric value. We need to express (7π)/12 as the sum or difference of angles for which we do have standard trigonometric values.
Express as Sum of Angles: Notice that (7π)/12 can be written as the sum of (4π)/12 and (3π)/12, which simplifies to π/3+π/4. These are angles for which we have known trigonometric values.
Apply Angle Addition Formula: Use the angle addition formula for tangent, which is tan(A+B)=1−tan(A)tan(B)tan(A)+tan(B), where A is π/3 and B is π/4.
Find Tangent Values: Find the tangent values for A and B. We know that tan(3π)=3 and tan(4π)=1.
Substitute Values: Substitute the values into the angle addition formula: tan(3π+4π)=1−tan(3π)tan(4π)tan(3π)+tan(4π)=1−3⋅13+1.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression: (3+1)/(1−3)=(3+1)/(1−3)×((1+3)/(1+3)) to rationalize the denominator.
Rationalize Denominator: Multiply the numerators and the denominators: (3+1)(1+3)/(1−3)(1+3)=(3+3+3+1)/(1−3).
Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Simplify the numerator and the denominator: (4+23)/(−2)=2(2+3)/(−2)=−(2+3).
Final Simplified Expression: The final simplified expression is −(2+3), which corresponds to choice (D) 1−31+3 if we consider the negative sign as part of the fraction.
