Use the given information to find tan(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 and the goal: We need to find \(\tan(x + y)\) given \(\sin y = -\frac{2}{3}\), \(\cos x = -\frac{1}{5}\), with \(x\) in quadrant II and \(y\) in quadrant III.
Recall the formula for the tangent of a sum: \(\tan(x + y) = \frac{\tan x + \tan y}{1 - \tan x \tan y}\).
Find \(\sin x\) using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\). Since \(\cos x = -\frac{1}{5}\) and \(x\) is in quadrant II (where sine is positive), calculate \(\sin x = +\sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^2}\).
Find \(\cos y\) using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 y + \cos^2 y = 1\). Since \(\sin y = -\frac{2}{3}\) and \(y\) is in quadrant III (where cosine is negative), calculate \(\cos y = -\sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2}\).
Calculate \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\) and \(\tan y = \frac{\sin y}{\cos y}\), then substitute these values into the formula \(\tan(x + y) = \frac{\tan x + \tan y}{1 - \tan x \tan y}\) to find the expression for \(\tan(x + y)\).

Trigonometric Identities for Sum of Angles

The tangent of a sum, tan(x + y), can be found using the identity tan(x + y) = (tan x + tan y) / (1 - tan x * tan y). This formula allows combining the tangents of individual angles to find the tangent of their sum.

Determining Signs of Trigonometric Functions in Quadrants

The signs of sine, cosine, and tangent depend on the quadrant of the angle. In quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative; in quadrant III, both sine and cosine are negative. Correct sign assignment is crucial for accurate calculations.

Finding Missing Trigonometric Ratios Using Pythagorean Identity

Given one trigonometric ratio (like sin y or cos x), the other ratios can be found using the Pythagorean identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. This helps determine unknown values such as cos y or sin x, essential for calculating tan x and tan y.
