4cos^2(150)+3tan(225)+9csc^2(300)

Solution

4 cos^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) + 3 tan (22 5^{\circ}) + 9 csc^{2} (30 0^{\circ})

Solution

18

Solution steps

4 cos^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) + 3 tan (22 5^{\circ}) + 9 csc^{2} (30 0^{\circ})

tan (22 5^{\circ}) = tan (4 5^{\circ})

tan (22 5^{\circ})

Rewrite

22 5^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ}

= tan (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

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

tan (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ}) = tan (4 5^{\circ})

= tan (4 5^{\circ})

= 4 cos^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) + 3 tan (4 5^{\circ}) + 9 csc^{2} (30 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

csc^{2} (30 0^{\circ}) = 1 + cot^{2} (12 0^{\circ})

csc^{2} (30 0^{\circ})

Use the Pythagorean identity:

csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cot^{2} (x)

= 1 + cot^{2} (30 0^{\circ})

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

cot (30 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

30 0^{\circ}

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

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

Apply the periodicity of

cot

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

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

= cot (12 0^{\circ})

= 1 + cot^{2} (12 0^{\circ})

= 4 cos^{2} (15 0^{\circ}) + 3 tan (4 5^{\circ}) + 9 (1 + cot^{2} (12 0^{\circ}))
