2tan^2(300)+3sin^2(150)-cos^2(180)

Solution

2 tan^{2} (30 0^{\circ}) + 3 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) - cos^{2} (18 0^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{23}{4}

Decimal Notation

5.75

Solution steps

2 tan^{2} (30 0^{\circ}) + 3 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) - cos^{2} (18 0^{\circ})

tan (30 0^{\circ}) = tan (12 0^{\circ})

tan (30 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

30 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ}

= tan (18 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + 18 0^{\circ}) = tan (x)

tan (18 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ}) = tan (12 0^{\circ})

= tan (12 0^{\circ})

= 2 tan^{2} (12 0^{\circ}) + 3 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) - cos^{2} (18 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan^{2} (12 0^{\circ}) = sec^{2} (12 0^{\circ}) - 1

tan^{2} (12 0^{\circ})

Use the Pythagorean identity:

tan^{2} (x) + 1 = sec^{2} (x)

tan^{2} (x) = sec^{2} (x) - 1

= sec^{2} (12 0^{\circ}) - 1

= 2 (sec^{2} (12 0^{\circ}) - 1) + 3 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) - cos^{2} (18 0^{\circ})

= (- 1)

= 2 ((- 2)^{2} - 1) + 3 (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (- 1)^{2}

Simplify

2 ((- 2)^{2} - 1) + 3 (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (- 1)^{2} : \frac{23}{4}

2 ((- 2)^{2} - 1) + 3 (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - (- 1)^{2}

2 ((- 2)^{2} - 1) = 6

2 ((- 2)^{2} - 1)

(- 2)^{2} = 4

(- 2)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 2)^{2} = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 4

= 2 (4 - 1)

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 1 = 3

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= 6

3 (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

3 (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

(\frac{1}{2})^{2} = \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

(\frac{1}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{2 ^{2}}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{2 ^{2}}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 3 = 3

= \frac{3}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{3}{4}

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

= 6 + \frac{3}{4} - 1

Subtract the numbers:

6 - 1 = 5

= \frac{3}{4} + 5

Convert element to fraction:

5 = \frac{5 \cdot 4}{4}

= \frac{5 \cdot 4}{4} + \frac{3}{4}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{5 \cdot 4 + 3}{4}

5 \cdot 4 + 3 = 23

5 \cdot 4 + 3

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 4 = 20

= 20 + 3

Add the numbers:

20 + 3 = 23

= 23

= \frac{23}{4}

= \frac{23}{4}
