TopicAddition & Double Angle Formulae

2 Angle \(\alpha\) is acute and \(\cos \alpha = \frac { 3 } { 5 }\). Angle \(\beta\) is obtuse and \(\sin \beta = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\).
    1. Find the value of \(\tan \alpha\) as a fraction.
      (1 mark)
    2. Find the value of \(\tan \beta\) in surd form.
  1. Hence show that \(\tan ( \alpha + \beta ) = \frac { m \sqrt { 3 } - n } { n \sqrt { 3 } + m }\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are integers.
