If sin ⁡x=725, and 0 ∠ x ∠ pi/2, what is the tan (x - pi/4)

∠ isn't the angle simple it is the less than but for some reason it wasn't letting me put that one in.

Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form, like this: 3/14

Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = (-17)/(31)

Explanation:

Here we have , sin ⁡x=7/25( given sin x = 725 which is not possible ) ,
0<x<(\pi )/(2) . Let's find tan (x - pi/4):


Tanx = (sinx)/(cosx)


Tanx = \frac{sinx}{\sqrt{1-(sinx)^(2)}}


Tanx = \frac{(7)/(25)}{\sqrt{1-((7)/(25))^(2)}}


Tanx = {(7)/(25)}{\sqrt{((625)/(625-49))^{}}}


Tanx = {(7)/(25)}((25)/(24) )


Tanx = {(7)/(24)}

Now ,
Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = (Tanx - Tan((\pi )/(4) ))/(1+ Tanx(Tan((\pi )/(4) ))


Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = (Tanx -1)/(1+ Tanx(1))


Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = ((7)/(24) -1)/(1+(7)/(24) )


Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = ((7-24)/(24) )/((7+24)/(24) )


Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = (-17)/(24) ((24)/(31) )


Tan(x-(\pi )/(4)) = (-17)/(31)
