Question 1114895: Find: sin (s+t), cos (s-t), tan (s+t), the quadrant of (s+t)
Given: +sin+s+=+3%2F5+ and sin+t+=+-12%2F13 and that s∈QI and t∈QIII

For my work I started off with sum and difference identities
for ==== sin (s+t)
+sin+%28s%2Bt%29+=+sin+s+cos+t+%2B+cos+s+sin+t+
sin (s+t)= +sin+%283%2F5%29+cos+%28-15%2F13%29+%2B+cos+%284%2F5%29+sin+%28-12%2F13%29+
sin (s+t)= +%28-15%2F65%29+%2B+%28-48%2F65%29+
sin (s+t) = +%28-63%2F65%29+
for ==== cos (s-t)
+cos+%28s-t%29+=+cos+s+cos+t+%2B+sin+s+sin+t+
cos (s-t) = +%284%2F5%29+%28-5%2F13%29+%2B+%283%2F5%29%28-12%2F13%29+
cos (s-t) = +%28-56%2F65%29+
for ==== tan (s+t)
+tan+%28s%2Bt%29+=+%28tan+s+%2B+tan+t%29+%2F+%281+-+tan+s+tan+t%29+
tan (s+t) = +%28%283%2F4%29%2B%28-12%2F5%29%29+%2F+%281+-+%283%2F4%29%28-12%2F5%29%29+
tan (s+t) = +-63%2F16+
for quadrant of (s+t) I would infer Q2.
from my work I think I messed up on sin t = -12/13 with the negative symbols, but I'm not sure and any help would be appreciated!

Find: sin (s+t), cos (s-t), tan (s+t), the quadrant of (s+t) 
Given: +sin+s+=+3%2F5+ and sin+t+=+-12%2F13 and that s∈QI and t∈QIII


For my work I started off with sum and difference identities 

for ==== sin (s+t)
+sin+%28s%2Bt%29+=+sin+s+cos+t+%2B+cos+s+sin+t+ 
sin (s+t)= +sin+%283%2F5%29+cos+%28-15%2F13%29+%2B+cos+%284%2F5%29+sin+%28-12%2F13%29+     <<<---=== cos(t) = -5/13
sin (s+t)= +%28-15%2F65%29+%2B+%28-48%2F65%29+
sin (s+t) = +%28-63%2F65%29+                   <<<---===  correct

for ==== cos (s-t) 
+cos+%28s-t%29+=+cos+s+cos+t+%2B+sin+s+sin+t+ 
cos (s-t) = +%284%2F5%29+%28-5%2F13%29+%2B+%283%2F5%29%28-12%2F13%29+ 
cos (s-t) = +%28-56%2F65%29+                  <<<---===  correct

for ==== tan (s+t)
+tan+%28s%2Bt%29+=+%28tan+s+%2B+tan+t%29+%2F+%281+-+tan+s+tan+t%29+    <<<---=== tan(t) = 12/5,   and FIX everything that follows
tan (s+t) = +%28%283%2F4%29%2B%28-12%2F5%29%29+%2F+%281+-+%283%2F4%29%28-12%2F5%29%29+
tan (s+t) = +-63%2F16+

for quadrant of (s+t) I would infer Q2.  

from my work I think I messed up on sin t = -12/13 with the negative symbols, but I'm not sure and any help would be appreciated!
