Bacteria are
unicellular organisms while viruses are technically considered non-living, or even
parasitical as they do have cells- Cells are generally a part in deciding whether an
organism is living or not.

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) ...
