Capitolo 7, Problema 93

Use a calculator to find each value. Give answers as real numbers.
tan (arcsin 0.12251014)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the expression is \( \tan(\arcsin(0.12251014)) \). Here, \( \arcsin(0.12251014) \) represents an angle \( \theta \) whose sine is 0.12251014.
Set \( \theta = \arcsin(0.12251014) \), so by definition, \( \sin(\theta) = 0.12251014 \). Our goal is to find \( \tan(\theta) \).
Recall the Pythagorean identity: \( \sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 \). Use this to find \( \cos(\theta) \) by calculating \( \cos(\theta) = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2(\theta)} \).
Once you have \( \cos(\theta) \), use the definition of tangent: \( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \). Substitute the known values to express \( \tan(\theta) \).
Finally, use a calculator to evaluate the numerical value of \( \tan(\arcsin(0.12251014)) \) by performing the square root and division operations.
