a and b are quadrant I angles with cos(a)= 15/17 and csc(b) = 41/9. find tan(a-b).
Identity:
cosa=15/17

tana=sin/cos=8/15
..
csc(b)=41/9
sin(b)=9/41

tanb=sin/cos=9/40
..

calculator check:
cos(a)=15/17
a≈28.072˚
sin(b)=9/41
b=12.680
a-b=15.392
tan(a-b)=tan(15.392)≈0.279
exact value=185/672≈0.279 (ans c.)
