Identify the given information: \( \sin \alpha = -\frac{1}{3} \) with \( \pi < \alpha < \frac{3\pi}{2} \), and \( \cos \beta = -\frac{1}{3} \) with \( \pi < \beta < \frac{3\pi}{2} \). Both angles are in the third quadrant.
Determine \( \cos \alpha \) using the Pythagorean identity: \( \sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha = 1 \). Substitute \( \sin \alpha = -\frac{1}{3} \) and solve for \( \cos \alpha \). Since \( \alpha \) is in the third quadrant, \( \cos \alpha \) will be negative.
Determine \( \sin \beta \) using the Pythagorean identity: \( \sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = 1 \). Substitute \( \cos \beta = -\frac{1}{3} \) and solve for \( \sin \beta \). Since \( \beta \) is in the third quadrant, \( \sin \beta \) will be negative.
Calculate \( \tan \alpha = \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} \) and \( \tan \beta = \frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \) using the values found in previous steps.
Use the tangent addition formula to find \( \tan(\alpha + \beta) \): \[ \tan(\alpha + \beta) = \frac{\tan \alpha + \tan \beta}{1 - \tan \alpha \tan \beta} \] Substitute the values of \( \tan \alpha \) and \( \tan \beta \) to express \( \tan(\alpha + \beta) \) exactly.

Sum of Angles Formula for Tangent

The tangent of the sum of two angles α and β is given by tan(α + β) = (tan α + tan β) / (1 - tan α tan β). This formula allows us to find the exact value of tan(α + β) using the individual tangents of α and β, which can be derived from their sine and cosine values.

Determining Quadrants and Sign of Trigonometric Functions

Knowing the quadrant in which an angle lies is essential to determine the signs of sine, cosine, and tangent. For example, if π < α < 3π/2, α is in the third quadrant where sine and cosine are negative, but tangent is positive. This helps correctly assign signs when calculating tan α and tan β.

Using Pythagorean Identity to Find Missing Trigonometric Values

Given sin α or cos β, the corresponding cosine α or sine β can be found using the identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. This is crucial for computing tan α = sin α / cos α or tan β = sin β / cos β, enabling the use of the sum formula for tangent.
