Use the given information to find sin(x + y).
sin y = - 2/3 , cos x = - 1/5, x in quadrant II, y in quadrant III

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the given information: \(\sin y = -\frac{2}{3}\), \(\cos x = -\frac{1}{5}\), with \(x\) in quadrant II and \(y\) in quadrant III.
Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) to find \(\cos y\). Since \(\sin y = -\frac{2}{3}\), calculate \(\cos y = \pm \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 y} = \pm \sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2}\), and determine the correct sign based on the quadrant of \(y\).
Similarly, find \(\sin x\) using \(\cos x = -\frac{1}{5}\). Calculate \(\sin x = \pm \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 x} = \pm \sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^2}\), and choose the sign according to the quadrant of \(x\).
Recall the angle addition formula for sine: \(\sin(x + y) = \sin x \cos y + \cos x \sin y\).
Substitute the values of \(\sin x\), \(\cos y\), \(\cos x\), and \(\sin y\) into the formula to express \(\sin(x + y)\) in terms of known quantities.

Sum of Angles Formula for Sine

The sine of the sum of two angles, sin(x + y), can be found using the formula sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. This identity allows us to express sin(x + y) in terms of the sines and cosines of the individual angles x and y.

Determining Signs of Trigonometric Functions by Quadrant

The signs of sine and cosine depend on the quadrant in which the angle lies. In quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative; in quadrant III, both sine and cosine are negative. This helps determine the correct values and signs of unknown trigonometric functions.
