Evaluate:
sin(x + y) if sin x =3/5, sec x > 0, cos y = − 2√(5)/5, and tan y < 0
sin(x + y) =
***
sinx=3/5
secx>0
reference angle x is in quadrant I where sin>0, cos>0
cosx=4/5 (working with (3-4-5) reference right triangle in quadrant I)
...
cosy=-2√5/5
tany<0
reference angle y is in quadrant II where sin>0, cos<0
siny=√(1-cos^2(y))=√(1-20/25)=√(5/25)=√5/5
..
sin(x+y)=sinxcosy+cosxsiny=3/5*-2√5/5+4/5*√5/5=-6√5/25+4√5/25=-2√5/25
..
Check:
sinx=3/5
x≈36.87˚
cosy=-2√5/5
y≈153.43˚
x+y≈190.30˚
sin(x+y)≈sin(190.30)≈-0.1788
exact value as computed=-2√5/25≈-0.1788
