If sinA= -12/13, Q3, and cosB=4/5, Q1, calculate the exact value:
a) sec (A-B)
b) cot (A-B)
***
sinA=-12/13
cosA=-5/13 (5-12-13 reference right triangle in Q3)
tanA=sin/cos=12/5
..
cosB=4/5
sinB=3/5 (3-4-5 reference right triangle in Q1)
tanB=sin/cos=3/4
..
Identity:
a)
..
Identity:
b)
computer check:
sinA=-12/13
A≈67.38+180≈247.38º
cosB=4/5
B≈36.87º
A-B≈247.38-36.87≈210.51º
..
cos(A-B)=cos(210.51º)≈-0.8615
exact value=-56/65≈-0.8615
..
tan(A-B)=tan(210.51º)≈0.5892
exact value=33/56≈0.5892
