Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given t
Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given that
sin u = 8/17 and cos v = 7/25
(Both u and v are in Quadrant II.).
tan(u + v)
Find the exact value of the trigonometric function given that
sin u = 20/29 and cos v = 9/41 (Both u and v are in Quadrant III.).
sin(u + v)
Solution
sin u = 8/17 and cos v = 7/25
(Both u and v are in Quadrant II.).
tanu = -8/15 ; tanv = -24/7
tan(u + v) = ( tanu + tanv)/( 1 - tanutanv)
= ( -8/15 -24/7)/( 1- 8*24/15*7)
= -416/( -87)
= 416/87
sin u = 20/29 and cos v = 9/41 (Both u and v are in Quadrant III.).
cosu = -21/29 ; sinv = -40/41
sin(u + v) = sinucosv + cosusinv
= (-20/29)(-9/41) + ( -21/29)(-40/41)
= 1020/1189
