Given that tanx=−2 and cosy=1/2 where x and y are in the 4th and 1st quadrants respectively. Find, without evaluating angles x and y,
a) sin(x+y)
Here is what i have done so far..
For (X)
a² + b² = c²
1² + (-2)² = c²
1 +4 = c²
√5 = c²
For (Y)
a² + b² = c²
1² + b² = 2²
1 + b² = 2²
√b² = √3
√5 = c²
From here
sin (x+y)
sinx cosy + cosx sin y
= (-2/√5)(1/2) + (1/√5)(√3/2)
= (-2/2√5) + (1√3/2√5)
= -2+√3/√5 x √5/√5
= -2√5+√15/2√25
i got lost at this point
Answer
1+tan2x=sec2x so
sec2x=5 this means that cosx=1√5 since x is fourth quadrent.
sinx=tanxcosx=−2√5
Also sin2y+cos2y=1 gives siny=√32
So
sin(x+y)=cos(y)sin(x)+cos(x)sin(y)=−2√512+1√5√32=√3−22√5
