Here are the evaluations for question 30:

Part i· 4 steps

Evaluate tan⁡(2tan⁡−115−π4)\tan \left(2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)

  1. Use the formula 2tan⁡−1x=tan⁡−1(2x1−x2)2 \tan^{-1} x = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2x}{1-x^2}\right).

    Let x=15x = \frac{1}{5}.

    2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−1(2⋅151−(15)2)2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{5}}{1 - \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2}\right) 2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−1(251−125)2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{1 - \frac{1}{25}}\right) 2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−1(252425)2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{24}{25}}\right) 2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−1(25⋅2524)2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{25}{24}\right) 2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−1(50120)2 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{50}{120}\right) 2tan⁡−115=tan⁡−15122 \tan^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12}
  2. Substitute this back into the expression and use π4=tan⁡−11\frac{\pi}{4} = \tan^{-1} 1.

    The expression becomes:

    tan⁡(tan⁡−1512−tan⁡−11)\tan \left(\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} - \tan^{-1} 1\right)
  3. Use the formula tan⁡−1x−tan⁡−1y=tan⁡−1(x−y1+xy)\tan^{-1} x - \tan^{-1} y = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{x-y}{1+xy}\right).

    Let x=512x = \frac{5}{12} and y=1y = 1.

    tan⁡−1512−tan⁡−11=tan⁡−1(512−11+512⋅1)\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} - \tan^{-1} 1 = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{5}{12} - 1}{1 + \frac{5}{12} \cdot 1}\right) tan⁡−1512−tan⁡−11=tan⁡−1(5−121212+512)\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} - \tan^{-1} 1 = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{5-12}{12}}{\frac{12+5}{12}}\right) tan⁡−1512−tan⁡−11=tan⁡−1(−7121712)\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} - \tan^{-1} 1 = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-\frac{7}{12}}{\frac{17}{12}}\right) tan⁡−1512−tan⁡−11=tan⁡−1(−717)\tan^{-1} \frac{5}{12} - \tan^{-1} 1 = \tan^{-1} \left(-\frac{7}{17}\right)
  4. Evaluate the final expression.

    tan⁡(tan⁡−1(−717))=−717\tan \left(\tan^{-1} \left(-\frac{7}{17}\right)\right) = -\frac{7}{17}

    The final answer is −717\boxed{-\frac{7}{17}}.

Part ii

3−52\frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}

Evaluate tan⁡(12cos⁡−153)\tan \left(\frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\right)

  1. Let θ=cos⁡−153\theta = \cos^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}.

    This implies cos⁡θ=53\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}.
    We need to find tan⁡(θ2)\tan \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right).

  2. Use the half-angle formula tan⁡θ2=1−cos⁡θsin⁡θ\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}.

    First, find sin⁡θ\sin \theta. Since θ=cos⁡−153\theta = \cos^{-1} \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}, θ\theta is in the first quadrant, so sin⁡θ>0\sin \theta > 0.

    sin⁡2θ=1−cos⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta sin⁡2θ=1−(53)2\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\right)^2 sin⁡2θ=1−59\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{5}{9} sin⁡2θ=9−59\sin^2 \theta = \frac{9-5}{9} sin⁡2θ=49\sin^2 \theta = \frac{4}{9} sin⁡θ=49=23\sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{2}{3}
  3. Substitute cos⁡θ\cos \theta and sin⁡θ\sin \theta into the half-angle formula.

    tan⁡θ2=1−5323\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{1 - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} tan⁡θ2=3−5323\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{\frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} tan⁡θ2=3−52\tan \frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}

    The final answer is 3−52\boxed{\frac{3 - \sqrt{5}}{2}}.
