The right response is c) 1.732.
The angle is 30° when x is in the first quadrant and sin(x) = 0.5.
We can determine the value of tan(2x) by applying the trigonometric identity tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x).
tan(2x) = sin(2x)/cos(2x)
The formula for double angles is sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x).
So, tan(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)/cos(2x)
Using the Pythagorean identity cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1 and substituting sin(x) = 0.5, we obtain:
tan(2x) = 2(0.5)(√(1 – 0.5^2))/√(1 – 0.5^2)
tan(2x) = 1/√3 = 1.732
Therefore, c) 1.732 is the right response.
