tan(arcsin3/5 + arccos5/7 ) =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find with calculator the arcsin by shift+sin (5/3) and arccos by shift+cos (...)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then add them and then compute the tan of this sum result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we cant use calculator..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is an artificial "smartass" problem. And i openly admit I cannot solve it w.o. ca

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have my answer but im not yet sure if its correct ill just compare it to yours..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah now I realized - You have to use addition formula for tan\[\tan(\alpha + \beta) = ....\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah.. hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[= \frac{ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta }{ 1 - \tan \alpha \tan \beta }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan(a + b) = sin(a + b)/cos(a + b) = (sin a cos b + cos a sin b)/(cos a cos b - sin a sin b) Divide both numerator and denominator by cos a cos b tan (a + b) = (tan a + tan b)/(1 - tan a tan b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also U will have to fnd their complementary functions: by Pythagoras equality I gave you before \[\sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha = 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actualy what ali usedis even faster \[\tan(a + b) = \sin(a + b)/\cos(a + b) = (\sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b)/(\cos a \cos b - \sin a \sin b) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ (\sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b)/(\cos a \cos b - \sin a \sin b) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys.. what do you think is the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 Find the complementary to sin and to cos 2 substitute in the LAST formula that I have printed from Ali-s advice (just above ur last question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one \[(\sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b)/(\cos a \cos b - \sin a \sin b) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin x = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan(\arcsin3/5 + \arccos5/7 ) = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer should be in fraction form when you already find the a and b of tan and it has square roots..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pls figure out how to use the sqrt I wrote for You and then substitute into this\[(\sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b)/(\cos a \cos b - \sin a \sin b)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sure tnx
