$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the following identity to help with the difference inside the tangent function there:

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}$

Let $a=\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})$ .

With some restriction on this means:

$\sin(a)=\frac{2}{3}$

We need to find $\tan(a)$ .

$\sin^2(a)+\cos^2(a)=1$ is a Pythagorean Identity I will use to find the cosine value and then I will use that the tangent function is the ratio of sine to cosine.

$(\frac{2}{3})^2+\cos^2(a)=1$

$\frac{4}{9}+\cos^2(a)=1$

Subtract 4/9 on both sides:

$\cos^2(a)=\frac{5}{9}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\cos(a)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}$

$\cos(a)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$

The cosine value is positive because is a number between $-\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{\pi}{2}$ because that is the restriction on sine inverse.

So we have $\cos(a)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$ .

This means that $\tan(a)=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}$ .

Multiplying numerator and denominator by 3 gives us:

$\tan(a)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$

Rationalizing the denominator by multiplying top and bottom by square root of 5 gives us:

$\tan(a)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}$

Let's continue on to letting $b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7})$ .

Let's go ahead and say what the restrictions on are.

is a number in between 0 and $\pi$ .

So anyways $b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7})$ implies $\cos(b)=\frac{1}{7}$ .

Let's use the Pythagorean Identity again I mentioned from before to find the sine value of .

$\cos^2(b)+\sin^2(b)=1$

$(\frac{1}{7})^2+\sin^2(b)=1$

$\frac{1}{49}+\sin^2(b)=1$

Subtract 1/49 on both sides:

$\sin^2(b)=\frac{48}{49}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\sin(b)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{48}{49}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{48}}{7}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{16}\sqrt{3}}{7}$

$\sin(b)=\pm \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}$

So since is a number between and $\pi$ , then sine of this value is positive.

This implies:

$\sin(b)=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}$

So $\tan(b)=\frac{\sin(b)}{\cos(b)}=\frac{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}}{\frac{1}{7}}$ .

Multiplying both top and bottom by 7 gives:

$\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{1}= 4\sqrt{3}$ .

Let's put everything back into the first mentioned identity.

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}$

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{1+\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}$

Let's clear the mini-fractions by multiply top and bottom by the least common multiple of the denominators of these mini-fractions. That is, we are multiplying top and bottom by 5:

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2 \sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+2\sqrt{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}$

$\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}$

Answer from: Quest

the speed is $135$ miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

$y/x=k$

for the point $(1.5,90)$

substitute the values of x and y

$k=90/1.5=60\ miles/hour$

the linear equation is equal to

$y=60x$

statements

case a) it takes $2$ hours to go $120$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=2$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(2)=120\ miles$ > is correct

case b) the speed is $135$ miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is $60\ miles/hour$

case c) the unit rate for the trip is $60\ miles/hour$

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took $20$ minutes to go the first $20$ miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for $x=20\ minutes=(1/3)\ hour$

find the value of y in the linear equation

$y=60(1/3)=20\ miles$ > is correct
