Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}$

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) }$ which simplifies a bit to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} }$ and a bit more to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{5} }$

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=-\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{1}$ which of course simplifies to

-3. Choice A.

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
