(a) Given that sin y = \(\frac{8}{17}\) find the value of \(\frac{tan y}{1 + 2 tan y}\)

(b) An amount of N300,000.00 was shared among Otobo, Ada and Adeola. Otobo received N60,000.00, Ada received \(\frac{5}{10}\) of the remainder, while the rest went to Adeola. In what ratio was the money shared?

Explanation

x\(^2\) = 172\(^2\) - 8\(^2\)

x\(^2\) = 289 - 64

x\(^2\) = 225 

x = \(\sqrt{225}\)

x = 15

tan y \(\frac{8}{15}\)

1 + 2 tan y = 1 + 2(\(\frac{8}{15}\))

= \(\frac{1}{1} + \frac{6}{15}\)

= \(\frac{15 + 16}{15} = \frac{31}{15}\)

\(\frac{\tan y}{1 + 2 \tan y}\)

= \(\frac{8}{15} \div \frac{31}{15}\)

= \(\frac{8}{15} \times \frac{15}{31} = \frac{8}{31}\)

 

(b) Otobo shares = N60,000

Remainder = N300,000 - N60,000

= N240,000

Ada's share = \(\frac{5}{12}\) x N240,0000

= N100,000

Adeola's share =;

= 300,000 - N160,000 = N140,000

Ratio of the money is 

Otobo : Ada : Adeola

60,000 : 100,000 : 140,000

60 : 100 : 140

6 : 10 : 14

3 : 5 : 7
