EXAMPLE 1 Evaluate trigonometric expressions Find the exact value of (a) cos 165° and (b) tan. π 12 a. cos 165° 1 2 = cos (330°) = – 1 + cos 330° 2 = – = – b. tan π π 6 = tan ( ) = 1 – cos π 6 sin π 6 = 1 – = 2 –
EXAMPLE 2 Evaluate trigonometric expressions Given cos a = with < a < 2π, find (a) sin 2a and (b) sin π3π 2 a 2 SOLUTION a. Using a Pythagorean identity gives sin a = –. sin 2a = 2 sin a cos a = 2(– )( ) = – b. Because is in Quadrant II, a 2 a 2 sin is positive. a 2 sin = 1 – cos a 2 = 1 – = 4 = 2 13
EXAMPLE 3 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION sin 2 1 – cos 2 Use double-angle formulas. = 2 sin cos 1 – (1 – 2 sin 2 ) Simplify denominator. = 2 sin cos 2 sin 2 Divide out common factor 2 sin . = cos sin Use cotangent identity. = cot ANSWER The correct answer is B.
