Solution steps

cos (6 0^{\circ}) + tan (13 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (13 5^{\circ}) = - 1

tan (13 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{sin ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}{cos ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}

tan (13 5^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}{cos ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}

= \frac{sin ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}{cos ( 13 5 ^{\circ} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (13 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (13 5^{\circ})

= - \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}} : - 1

\frac{\frac{2}{2}}{- \frac{2}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{2}{2}}{\frac{2}{2}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= - \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2 2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - 1

= - 1

= \frac{1}{2} - 1

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} - 1 : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} - 1

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- 1 \cdot 2 + 1}{2}

- 1 \cdot 2 + 1 = - 1

- 1 \cdot 2 + 1

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= - 2 + 1

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 2 + 1 = - 1

= - 1

= \frac{- 1}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}
