sin(150)+cos(510)+tan(4110)-tan(210)

Solution

sin (15 0^{\circ}) + cos (51 0^{\circ}) + tan (411 0^{\circ}) - tan (21 0^{\circ})

Solution

- \frac{7 3 - 3}{6}

Decimal

- 1.52072 \dots

Solution steps

sin (15 0^{\circ}) + cos (51 0^{\circ}) + tan (411 0^{\circ}) - tan (21 0^{\circ})

cos (51 0^{\circ}) = cos (15 0^{\circ})

cos (51 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

51 0^{\circ}

36 0^{\circ} + 15 0^{\circ}

= cos (36 0^{\circ} + 15 0^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 36 0^{\circ}) = cos (x)

cos (36 0^{\circ} + 15 0^{\circ}) = cos (15 0^{\circ})

= cos (15 0^{\circ})

= sin (15 0^{\circ}) + cos (15 0^{\circ}) + tan (411 0^{\circ}) - tan (21 0^{\circ})

tan (411 0^{\circ}) = tan (15 0^{\circ})

tan (411 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

411 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} \cdot 22 + 15 0^{\circ}

= tan (18 0^{\circ} 22 + 15 0^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

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

tan (18 0^{\circ} \cdot 22 + 15 0^{\circ}) = tan (15 0^{\circ})

= tan (15 0^{\circ})

= sin (15 0^{\circ}) + cos (15 0^{\circ}) + tan (15 0^{\circ}) - tan (21 0^{\circ})

tan (21 0^{\circ}) = tan (3 0^{\circ})

tan (21 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

21 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} + 3 0^{\circ}

= tan (18 0^{\circ} + 3 0^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

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

tan (18 0^{\circ} + 3 0^{\circ}) = tan (3 0^{\circ})

= tan (3 0^{\circ})

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

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (15 0^{\circ}) = \frac{sin ( 15 0 ^{\circ} )}{cos ( 15 0 ^{\circ} )}

tan (15 0^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( 15 0 ^{\circ} )}{cos ( 15 0 ^{\circ} )}

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

Simplify

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