Angles α and β are angles in standard position such that: α terminates in Quadrant I and sinα = 3/5 β terminates in Quadrant III and tanβ = 5/12 . Find sin(α - β).

-16/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sinα = 3/5 in quadrant 1;

Since  sinα = opp/hyp

opp = 3

hyp = 5

adj^2 = hyp^2 - opp^2

adj^2 = 5^2 = 3^2

adj^2 = 25-9

adj^2 = 16

adj = 4

Since all the trig identity are positive in Quadrant 1, hence;

cosα = adj/hyp = 4/5

Similarly, if tanβ = 5/12 in Quadrant III,

According to trig identity

tan theta = opp/adj

opp = 5

adj = 12

hyp^2 = opp^2+adj^2

hyp^2 = 5^2+12^2

hyp^2 = 25+144

hyp^2 = 169

hyp = 13

Since only tan is positive in Quadrant III, then;

sinβ = -5/13

cosβ = -12/13

Get the required expression;

sin(α - β) = sinαcosβ - cosαsinβ

Substitute the given values

sin(α - β) = 3/5(-12/13) - 4/5(-5/13)

sin(α - β)= -36/65 + 20/65

sin(α - β) = -16/65

Hence the value of sin(α - β) is -16/65

answ9x x 3=

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
