tan α = -4/3, α in Quadrant II
sin α = 4/5, cos α = -3/5
...........
tan β = 24/7, β in Quadrant III,
sin β = -24/25, cos β = -7/25
..... Plug and Play
sin(α − β)=
sin(x - y) = sin x cosy - cos x sin y
.......Plug and Play
cos(α + β)=
cos(x - y) = cos x cos y + sin x sin y
.........Plug and Play
tan(x - y) = tan x - tan y)/(1- tan x tan y
tan(α − β) =
