Answer:

a+b-c

*Note c could be written as a/b

Step-by-step explanation:

-sin(-t - 8 π) + cos(-t - 2 π) + tan(-t - 5 π)

The identities I'm about to apply:

\sin(a-b)=\sin(a)\cos(b)-\sin(b)\cos(a)

\cos(a-b)=\cos(a)\cos(b)+\sin(a)\sin(b)

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}

Let's apply the difference identities to all three terms:

-[\sin(-t)\cos(8\pi)+\cos(-t)\sin(8\pi)]+[\cos(-t)\cos(2\pi)+\sin(-t)\sin(2\pi)]+\frac{\tan(-t)-\tan(5\pi)}{1+\tan(-t)\tan(5\pi)}

We are about to use that cos(even*pi) is 1 and sin(even*pi) is 0 so tan(odd*pi)=0:

-[\sin(-t)(1)+\cos(-t)(0)]+[\cos(-t)(1)+\sin(-t)(0)]+\frac{\tan(-t)-0}{1+\tan(-t)(0)

Cleaning up the algebra:

-[\sin(-t)]+[\cos(-t)]+\frac{\tan(-t)}{1}

Cleaning up more algebra:

-\sin(-t)+\cos(-t)+\tan(-t)

Applying that sine and tangent is odd while cosine is even.  That is,

sin(-x)=-sin(x) and tan(-x)=-tan(x) while cos(-x)=cos(x):

\sin(t)+\cos(t)-\tan(t)

Making the substitution the problem wanted us to:

a+b-c

Just for fun you could have wrote c as a/b too since tangent=sine/cosine.

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a cylinder, you find the area of the circular base and multiply it by the height. Remember that the area of a circle is pi*r^2. R, the radius, is 2. Putting this into a calculator and rounding to the nearest tenth, you get 12.6. Now that we have the circle, we multiply by the height. Since the height is 1, we have our answer of 12.6.
