In 1768 the Swiss mathematician Johann Lambert proved that if \(\theta\) is a rational number in the interval \(\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right),\) then \(\tan \theta\) is irrational. Explain why this result implies that \(\pi\) is irrational.
Evaluate \(\cos \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{2}{5}\right)\)
Suppose \(\theta\) is not an odd multiple of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\). Explain why the point \((\tan \theta, 1)\) is on the line containing the point \((\sin \theta, \cos \theta)\) and the origin.
Suppose \(u\) and \(v\) are in the interval \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right),\) with \(\tan u=-2\) and \(\tan v=-3\) Find exact expressions for the indicated quantities. $$ \sin (v-7 \pi) $$
Find a formula for \(\tan \theta\) solely in terms of \(\sin \theta\).
