What does this quote mean? "Who in this town did one thing to help Tom Robinson, just who"What doe Jem mean by this and how is he reffering it to...

Jem was angry when Tom was killed trying to escape from
prison. He knew that Tom was convicted not on the evidencebut on the color of his skin.
No one in the town of Maycomb offered to help Tom besides Atticus Finch. When Tom was in
prison and not able to work, no one in the white community took food to his family or
tried to help them in any way. Atticus was the only man who stood guard to keep him from
being lynched. The newspaper editor who watched over Atticus at that did it for
Atticus's sake and those of his children, not out of concern for Tom. The missionary
society, of which Aunt Alexandra was a member, cared more about a far away African tribe
than the well-being of a member of their community. Only Atticus and his family paid
their respects to Tom's family after he died.

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) ...
