Find the exact value under the given conditions.
\n" ); document.write( "cos a = 1/3 , 0 < a < pi/2. sin b= -1/2 , -pi/2 < b < 0
\n" ); document.write( "Find tan ( a + b)
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "reference angle a is in quadrant I where sin>0, cos>0
\n" ); document.write( "reference angle b is in quadrant IV where sin<0, cos>0
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "cosa=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "sina=√(1-cos^2(a))=√(1-(1/9))=√(8/9)=√8/3
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "sinb=-1/2
\n" ); document.write( "cosb=√(1-sin^2(b))=√(1-(1/4))=√(3/4)=√3/2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "tana=√8/1=√8
\n" ); document.write( "tanb=-1/√3=-√3/3
\n" ); document.write( "tan(a+b)=(tana+tanb)/(1-tana*tanb)=(√8-√3/3)/(1-(√8*-√3/3))
\n" ); document.write( "=(3√8-√3)/3)/(3+(√24)/3=(3√8-√3)/(3+√24) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
