find the exact value of the trigonometric function, cos(u+v), given that sinu=5/13 and cos=-3/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is supposed to be cosu

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

are we given any info about v?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

like is that supposed to say sinv?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

then unfortunately, I don't think this problem is doable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is. i got an ugly fraction when i solved it, so i dont know if it is right

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

no clue how you did it without any info on v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that supposed to be cosv. its in fancy font

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

That makes this doable, so first, draw 2 triangles and label the sides, u, and v
