Find the sin(a+b) if tan(a) = 7/24 where a is in the third quadrant and cos (b)= -12/13 where b is in the second quadrant
...
Identity required: sin(a+b)=sin a cos b +cos a sin b
so we must find sin a, sin b, cos a and cos b
..
Given: tan (a) =7/24 in quadrant III
This gives a hypotenuse=√(24^2+7^2)=√625=25
In quadrant III, both sin and cos are <0
sin a=-7/25
cos a=-24/25
..
Given: cos (b)=-12/13 in quadrant II (cos<0, sin>0)
Opposite leg=√(13^2-12^2)=√25=5
Sin b=5/13
..
sin(a+b)=(-7/25)(-12/13)+(-24/25)(5/13)
=.2585-.3692=.1107
..
ans: sin(a+b)=.1107
