How do I cite these sources in APA format? I nearly completely forget how to format this correctly in APA format, could anyone...

As noted by the prior poster, APA format has recently
undergone a revision, so be sure that you are using the 6th edition (if that is what
your professor expects). All of the sources that you have listed are electronic sources,
but even electronic sources can be different in terms of the details that you need to
include. You will always begin by citing the author last name, followed by first
initial. Then, in parentheses, follow this with the date of publication. You will then
include the title of the work and the relevant publication information (Retrieval date
and URL for a web page; doi for a database article, city and publisher for a print
source)


For example, a database article would be cited like
this:



Steinbrook, R.. (2009). Lobbying, Campaign
Contributions, and Health Care Reform. The New England Journal of Medicine,
361(23), e52.  doi:1914852231



A web page like
this:



Political Advocacy (2010) Directory of
United States Lobbyists. Retrieved March 17, 2010 from href="http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/fac/kfountain/">http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/fac/kfountain/



And
a book like this:


Bogosian, E. (2008) Talk Radio. New York:
Samuel French.


The absolute best source that I have found
for APA is the OWL. Here is their page for on line
sources:


http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/


Also,
don't forget to include an in text citation for each time you use a source - for
example, using your source above: (Paz, 2010).

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) ...
