Question 1125345: Calculate: sin(α−β), if sin α=− 2/5, cosβ=− 1/3, 3π/2<α<2π, π/2 <β<π
My answer is ((2 root 42)-2)/15 but I don't think it is right Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
is the correct answer. Your arithmetic was good, but somewhere you made an error with your signs. Double check your work. Remember that the cosine is positive in the 1st and 4th quadrants, and the sine is positive in the 1st and 2nd quadrants.
