What is the attitude of Friar Laurence toward the lovers' insistence that he marry them without delay?it's somewher in Act 1 scene 4

There are a couple of places where Friar Lawrence gives
his opinion on this.  Neither of them is in Act I, Scene 4, though.  The two places are
Act II, Scene 3 and Act II, Scene 6.


Basically, Friar
Lawrence thinks that they are really rushing things.  He thinks that there is no reason
for them to be hurrying so much.


But eventually, he decides
that it makes sense to marry them even though he's not so sure about it.  He thinks that
by marrying them he might be able to get their families to stop hating each other.  He
says (Act II, Scene 3):

In one respect I'll thy assistant be;

For this alliance may so happy prove,
To turn your households'
rancour to pure love.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
