FIRST PART
We need to find sin α, cos α, and cos β, tan β
α and β is located on third quadrant, sin α, cos α, and sin β, cos β are negative

Determine ratio of ∠α
Use the help of right triangle figure to find the ratio
tan α = 5/12
side in front of the angle/ side adjacent to the angle = 5/12
Draw the figure, see image attached

Using pythagorean theorem, we find the length of the hypotenuse is 13
sin α = side in front of the angle / hypotenuse
sin α = -12/13

cos α = side adjacent to the angle / hypotenuse
cos α = -5/13

Determine ratio of ∠β
sin β = -1/2
sin β = sin 210° (third quadrant)
β = 210°

cos \beta = -\frac{1}{2}  \sqrt{3}

tan \beta= \frac{1}{3}  \sqrt{3}

SECOND PART
Solve the questions
Find sin (α + β)
sin (α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β
sin( \alpha + \beta )=(- \frac{12}{13} )( -\frac{1}{2}  \sqrt{3})+( -\frac{5}{13} )( -\frac{1}{2} )
sin( \alpha + \beta )=(\frac{12}{26}\sqrt{3})+( \frac{5}{26} )
sin( \alpha + \beta )=(\frac{5+12\sqrt{3}}{26})

Find cos (α - β)
cos (α - β) = cos α cos β + sin α sin β
cos( \alpha + \beta )=(- \frac{5}{13} )( -\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3})+( -\frac{12}{13} )( -\frac{1}{2} )
cos( \alpha + \beta )=(\frac{5}{26} \sqrt{3})+( \frac{12}{26} )
cos( \alpha + \beta )=(\frac{5\sqrt{3}+12}{26} )

Find tan (α - β)
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ tan \alpha-tan \beta }{1+tan \alpha  tan \beta }
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ \frac{5}{12} - \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3}   }{1+(\frac{5}{12}) ( \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3})}

Simplify the denominator
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ \frac{5}{12} - \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3}   }{1+(\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{24})}
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ \frac{5}{12} - \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{3} }{ \frac{24+5\sqrt{3}}{24} }

Simplify the numerator
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ \frac{5}{12} - \frac{6}{12} \sqrt{3} }{ \frac{24+5\sqrt{3}}{24} }
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{ \frac{5-6\sqrt{3}}{12} }{ \frac{24+5\sqrt{3}}{24} }

Simplify the fraction
tan( \alpha - \beta )= (\frac{5-6\sqrt{3}}{12} })({ \frac{24}{24+5\sqrt{3}})
tan( \alpha - \beta )= \frac{10-12\sqrt{3} }{ 24+5\sqrt{3}}

HELP PLEASE I NEED THIS DONE
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

138.3ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for cylinders : V = pi*r^2*h

Volume for cones : V = pi*r^2*(h/3)

Since we know the radius (r) is 2 and the height is 10 and 3 for the cylinder and cone respectively, all we do is plug in.

Volume for cylinder is about 125.7ft^3

Volume for cone is about 12.6ft^3

Then just add them together for a total of 138.3ft^3

Find the largest prime divisor of 76^2 − 1.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a difference of squares and therefore can be written as (76-1)(76+1)=(75)(77).

So lets look at the factors....

75=3(25)=3(5)(5)

77=7(11)

The biggest prime factor is therefore 11.

Identities used:

Difference of squares a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
