(1)If cos (α+β) = (4/5) and sin (α−β) = (5/(13)) where 0 < α< (π/4). Find tan 2α . (2) cos^4 ((π/8))+cos^4 (((3π)/8))+cos^4 (((5π)/8))+cos^4 (((7π)/8))?

$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right){If}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}\:{and}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{13}} \\ $$ $${where}\:\mathrm{0}\:<\:\alpha<\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}.\:{Find}\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha\:. \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\:\mathrm{cos}\:^{\mathrm{4}} \left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{8}}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:^{\mathrm{4}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{8}}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:^{\mathrm{4}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{8}}\right)+\mathrm{cos}\:^{\mathrm{4}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{8}}\right)? \\ $$

(1)tan 2α = tan ((α+β)+(α−β)) = ((tan (α+β)+tan (α−β))/(1−tan (α+β)tan (α−β))) = (((3/4)+(5/(12)))/(1−((15)/(48)))) = ((36+20)/(33)) = ((56)/(33)) .⊸

$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha\:=\:\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\left(\alpha+\beta\right)+\left(\alpha−\beta\right)\right) \\ $$ $$\:\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)+\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)} \\ $$ $$=\:\frac{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}+\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{12}}}{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{48}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{36}+\mathrm{20}}{\mathrm{33}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{56}}{\mathrm{33}}\:.\multimap \\ $$

tan (α+β)=((sin (α+β))/(cos (α+β))) = ((3/5)/(4/5)) = (3/4)

$$\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)=\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)}{\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\alpha+\beta\right)}\:=\:\frac{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}}{\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
