21. If tan x = 3/4 and cos x < 0, what is the value of sin x?
Solution: We know that sin²x + cos²x = 1, and we also know that tan x = sin x / cos x, so
we can substitute to get sin x / (sqrt(1 - sin²x)) = 3/4. Solving for sin x, we get sin x = -
3/5.
22. If sin x = -1/3 and cos y = 2/3, what is the value of sin(x + y)?
Solution: We know that sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get sin(x + y) = (-1/3)(2/3) + sqrt(1 - 1/9)(sqrt(3)/3) = -2/9 + (2sqrt(2))/9.
23. If cos x = 1/5 and tan y = 5/12, what is the value of sin(x + y)?
Solution: We know that sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get sin(x + y) = (1/5)(5/13) + (12/13)(sqrt(24)/13) = 12sqrt(6)/169.
26. If cos x = -4/5 and cos y = 3/5, what is the value of sin(x + y)?
Solution: We know that sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get sin(x + y) = (-4/5)(3/5) + (3/5)(sqrt(1 - 16/25)) = -12/25 - (4sqrt(6))/25.
27. If sin x = 3/5 and cos y = -2/3, what is the value of cos(x + y)?
Solution: We know that cos(x + y) = cos x cos y - sin x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get cos(x + y) = (3/5)(-2/3) - (4/5)(sqrt(1 - 9/25)) = -26/25.
28. If tan x = 3/4 and cos x < 0, what is the value of sin x?
Solution: We know that sin²x + cos²x = 1, and we also know that tan x = sin x / cos x, so
we can substitute to get sin x / (sqrt(1 - sin²x)) = 3/4. Solving for sin x, we get sin x = -
3/5.
29. If sin x = -1/3 and cos y = 2/3, what is the value of sin(x + y)?
Solution: We know that sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get sin(x + y) = (-1/3)(2/3) + sqrt(1 - 1/9)(sqrt(3)/3) = -2/9 + (2sqrt(2))/9.
30. If cos x = 1/5 and tan y = 5/12, what is the value of sin(x + y)?
Solution: We know that sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y. Substituting in the given
values, we get sin(x + y) = (1/5)(5/13) + (12/13)(sqrt(24)/13) = 12sqrt(6)/169.
