    Cos x = - 12/13

    sin x = - sqrt (13^2 - 12^2) / 13 = - 5/13

    tan x = 5/12

    tan x/2 = (1 - cos x) / sin x = 1 - (-12/13) / - 5/13 = 25/13 * - 13/5 = - 5

    2sin^2 x/2 = 1 - cos x = 1 - (-12/13) = 25/13

    sin^2 x/2 = 25/13 / 2 = 25/26

    sin x/2 = 5/√26

    sin x/2 / cos x/2 = tan x/2

    cos x/2 = sin x/2 / tan x/2 = 5/√26 / - 5 = - 1/√26

    sin x/2 = 5/√26

    cos x/2 = - 1/√26

    tan x/2 = - 5
