Determine the real solutions of inequality (x-4)(x+8)

First, we'll remove the brackets both sides. We'll apply
FOIL method to multiply the terms inside brackets:


x^2 + 8x
- 4x - 32 < x^2 + 4x - 8x - 32


We'll move all terms
to the left side:


x^2 + 8x - 4x - 32 - x^2 - 4x + 8x + 32
< 0


We'll combine like terms and we'll eliminate
like terms:


8x <
0


We'll divide by 8:


x
< 0


The solution for the inequality
is: x < 0 <=>(-infinite ;
0).

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) ...
