What causes the fight between the Capulets and the Montagues in Act I, scene 1?

What really causes the fight is the fact that the
Montagues and Capulets hate each other.  They hate each other so much that even their
servants hate one another.


It is these servants who are the
immediate cause of the fight.  Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) are walking along
when some Montague servant come out.  Sampson insults them and they start fighting after
a bit of a verbal argument.


When Tybalt comes in, he makes
the fight worse.  Benvolio has been trying to break the fight up.  But Tybalt decides
that he wants to fight Benvolio because he hates Montagues so
much.

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) ...
