Evaluate:`tan{1/2cos^(-1)(sqrt5/3)}`

Answer» `tan[ 1/2 cos^-1(sqrt5/3)]`
`1/2 cos^-1(sqrt5/3) = theta`
`cos^-1(sqrt5/3) = 2 theta`
`cos 2theta = sqrt5/3`
`(1- tan^2 theta)/(1 + tan^2 theta) = sqrt5/3`
`3- 3 tan^2 theta = sqrt5 + sqrt5 tan^2 theta`
`sqrt((3 - sqrt5)/(3 + sqrt5))= tan theta`
`sqrt(((3- sqrt5)(3- sqrt5))/((3 + sqrt5)(3- sqrt5))) = tan theta`
`tan theta = sqrt((3- sqrt5)^2/4)`
`= (3- sqrt5)/2`
