Question

Evaluate the following:
$\tan\Big(\cos^{-1}\frac{8}{17}\Big)$

✓

Answer

$\tan\Big(\cos^{-1}\frac{8}{17}\Big)$
$=\begin{Bmatrix}\tan^{-1}\frac{\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{8}{17}\Big)^2}}{\frac{8}{17}}\end{Bmatrix}$ $\bigg[\because\ \cos^{-1}\text{x}=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}{\text{x}}\bigg)\bigg]$
$=\tan\Bigg(\tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{15}{17}}{\frac{8}{17}}\Bigg)$
$=\frac{15}{8}$
