Step 1
Answer
To solve [ \tan 2x + \tan 32° = 5 \text{ and } 1 - \tan 2x \tan 32° = 5 ], we can rearrange the first equation:
[ \tan 2x = 5 - \tan 32° ]
Next, we substitute this into the second equation:
[ 1 - (5 - \tan 32°) \tan 32° = 5 ]
Expanding this gives us:
[ 1 - 5 \tan 32° + \tan^2 32° = 5 ]
Rearranging gives a quadratic equation in terms of ( \tan 2x ):
[ \tan^2 32° - 5 \tan 32° - 4 = 0 ]
Using the quadratic formula:
[ \tan 2x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{(5)^2 - 4(1)(-4)}}{2(1)} ]
This provides solutions for ( x ) that can then be calculated. Bringing these values into [-90° < x < 90°] will yield the final values for ( x ).
Step 2
Answer
We start with:
[ \tan(30° - 45°) = \frac{\tan 30° - \tan 45°}{1 + \tan 30° \tan 45°} ]
Substituting known values:
[ \tan 30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ and } \tan 45° = 1 ]
This leads to:
[ \tan(30° - 45°) = \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - 1}{1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \frac{\frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} + 1} ]
Thus, we can confirm:
[ \tan(30° - 45°) = \frac{\tan 30° - 1}{1 + \tan 30°} ]
Step 3
Answer
From subpart (a) we have:
[ (1 + \tan 30°)(\tan(θ + 28°) = \tan 30° - 1 ]
Substituting ( \tan 30° ):
[ (1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})(\tan(θ + 28°) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - 1 ]
This can be simplified to find ( θ ) by solving:
[ \tan(θ + 28°) = \frac{\frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} ]
Finding the angles that satisfy this equation would yield the required answers for ( θ ) within the domain specified.
