    Sin A = 3/4 and A is in quadrant II. Cos B = 7/25 and B is in quadrant I. To find sin(A+B): 1) Use identities to find cos A = -√7/4 and sin B = 24/25. 2) Plug values into the formula sin(A+B) = (sin A)(cos B) + (cos A)(sin B). 3) Simplify to get the answer of -0.4249803147.

    If sin A=3/4 and A is in quadrant II while cos B=7/25 and B is in quadrant 1, find sin (A+B).
    A. -3/5 B. 3/5 C. 4/5 D. ¾
    Given:
    sinA = 3/4, A is in Quadrant II
    cosB = 7/25, B is in Quadrant I
    Required:
    sin(A+B)
    Solution:
    The formula for sin(A+B),
    sin(A+B) = (sin A)(cos B) + (cos A)(sin B) (Eq. 1)
    Solve for the value of cos A and sin B using the identity cos2x + sin2x = 1,
    cos2A = 1- sin2A
    cos2A = 1- (3/4)2
    2
    3
    √
    cosA = 1−
    ()
    4

    cos A = -
    √7
    4

    sin2B = 1- cos2B
    sin2B = 1- (7/25)2
    2
    7
    √
    sinB = 1−

    sinB = 24/25
    ( )
    25

    Substituting all the obtained values to Eq. 1

    sin(A+B) = (3/4)(7/25) + (-
    √ 7 )( 24/25)
    4

    sin(A+B) = - 0.4249803147

    ANSWER: - 0.4249803147

    Discussion:
    Knowing that sin(A+B) = (sin A)(cos B) + (cos A)(sin B) and seeing that the values of cos A and
    sin B are missing, the first step would be solving for them. Using the identity, cos2x + sin2x = 1, cos A
    was able to be obtained by substituting the given value of sin A, which is negative since A is in QII, and
    sin B, which is positive since the value of B is in QI, was obtained by substitung the value of cos B to the
    identity. Now that the variables needed are complete, they are substituted to the formula of sin(A+B)
    which resulted to - 0.4249803147.
