The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding \( \sin \frac{x}{2} \), \( \cos \frac{x}{2} \), and \( \tan \frac{x}{2} \) given that \( \tan x = -\frac{4}{3} \) and \( x \) is in the second quadrant, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given information We know that: - \( \tan x = -\frac{4}{3} \) - \( x \) is in the second quadrant. ### Step 2: Find \( \sec^2 x \) Using the identity \( \sec^2 x = 1 + \tan^2 x \): \[ \tan^2 x = \left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{9} \] Thus, \[ \sec^2 x = 1 + \frac{16}{9} = \frac{25}{9} \] ### Step 3: Find \( \sec x \) and \( \cos x \) Taking the square root gives us: \[ \sec x = \pm \frac{5}{3} \] Since \( x \) is in the second quadrant, \( \cos x \) is negative: \[ \cos x = \frac{1}{\sec x} = -\frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 4: Find \( \sin x \) Using the identity \( \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \): \[ \sin^2 x + \left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 x + \frac{9}{25} = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 x = 1 - \frac{9}{25} = \frac{16}{25} \] Thus, \[ \sin x = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \frac{4}{5} \] Since \( x \) is in the second quadrant, \( \sin x \) is positive. ### Step 5: Find \( \cos \frac{x}{2} \) Using the half-angle formula: \[ \cos \frac{x}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos x}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \frac{3}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} \] ### Step 6: Find \( \sin \frac{x}{2} \) Using the half-angle formula: \[ \sin \frac{x}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos x}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{3}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{8}{5}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} \] ### Step 7: Find \( \tan \frac{x}{2} \) Using the relationship \( \tan \frac{x}{2} = \frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2}} \): \[ \tan \frac{x}{2} = \frac{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}} = 2 \] ### Final Results Thus, we have: \[ \sin \frac{x}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}, \quad \cos \frac{x}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}, \quad \tan \frac{x}{2} = 2 \]
