Use the given information to find the quadrant of x + y.
cos x = 2/9, sin y = -1/2, x in quadrant IV, y in quadrant III

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the signs of sine and cosine for angles x and y based on their quadrants: Since x is in quadrant IV, cos x is positive and sin x is negative; since y is in quadrant III, sin y is negative and cos y is also negative.
Use the Pythagorean identity to find sin x: Since \( \cos x = \frac{2}{9} \) and x is in quadrant IV where sine is negative, calculate \( \sin x = -\sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{2}{9}\right)^2} \).
Use the Pythagorean identity to find cos y: Since \( \sin y = -\frac{1}{2} \) and y is in quadrant III where cosine is negative, calculate \( \cos y = -\sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2} \).
Use the cosine addition formula to find \( \cos(x + y) \): \[ \cos(x + y) = \cos x \cos y - \sin x \sin y \]. Substitute the values found for \( \cos x, \cos y, \sin x, \sin y \).
Determine the quadrant of \( x + y \) by analyzing the sign of \( \cos(x + y) \) and \( \sin(x + y) \) (which can be found using the sine addition formula \( \sin(x + y) = \sin x \cos y + \cos x \sin y \)). The signs of sine and cosine will indicate the quadrant.
