Step-by-step solution
6 stepsDetermine and .
Given and . This means is in the third quadrant, where both and are negative.
We can form a right-angled triangle where the opposite side is 1 and the adjacent side is 2.
The hypotenuse .
Therefore, in the third quadrant:Calculate .
Using the double angle formula :
Substitute the values into the expression.
The expression to evaluate is .
Substitute the values of and :Simplify the complex fraction.
To combine the terms in the numerator and denominator, we rationalize the terms:
Substitute these back:
Rationalize the denominator.
Factor out common terms and then multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is :
Numerator:
Denominator:Write the final expression in surd form.
