Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the given information: \( \tan \alpha = -\frac{3}{4} \) with \( \alpha \) in quadrant II, and \( \cos \beta = \frac{1}{3} \) with \( \beta \) in quadrant I.
Recall the formula for the cosine of a sum:
\[ \cos(\alpha + \beta) = \cos \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \alpha \sin \beta \]
Find \( \cos \alpha \) and \( \sin \alpha \) using \( \tan \alpha = \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} \) and the quadrant information. Since \( \tan \alpha = -\frac{3}{4} \) and \( \alpha \) is in quadrant II, \( \sin \alpha > 0 \) and \( \cos \alpha < 0 \). Use the Pythagorean identity:
\[ \sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha = 1 \]
Express \( \sin \alpha \) and \( \cos \alpha \) in terms of a right triangle with opposite side 3 and adjacent side -4 (due to quadrant II).
Find \( \sin \beta \) using \( \cos \beta = \frac{1}{3} \) and the fact that \( \beta \) is in quadrant I, so \( \sin \beta > 0 \). Use the Pythagorean identity:
\[ \sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = 1 \]
Substitute the values of \( \cos \alpha \), \( \sin \alpha \), \( \cos \beta \), and \( \sin \beta \) into the cosine sum formula and simplify to find the exact value of \( \cos(\alpha + \beta) \).

Sum of Angles Formula for Cosine
The sum of angles formula states that cos(α + β) = cos α cos β − sin α sin β. This identity allows us to find the cosine of the sum of two angles using the cosines and sines of the individual angles, which is essential for solving the problem.

Determining Trigonometric Ratios from Given Information
Given tan α and the quadrant of α, we can find sin α and cos α using the Pythagorean identity and sign conventions. Similarly, knowing cos β and the quadrant of β helps determine sin β. Correctly identifying these values is crucial for applying the sum formula.

Sign of Trigonometric Functions in Different Quadrants
The signs of sine, cosine, and tangent depend on the quadrant of the angle. For example, in quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative; in quadrant I, all are positive. This knowledge ensures correct sign assignment when calculating sin α, cos α, sin β, and cos β.
