Solve for real y y^2+3+ 12/(y^2+3)=7

We'll note y^2 + 3 = t


We'll
re-write the equation in t:


t + 12/t =
7


We'll multiply by t both sides, after that, bringing all
terms to one side:


t^2 + 12 - 7t =
0


We'll re-arrange the
terms:


t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0


We'll
apply quadratic formula:


t1 = [7 + sqrt(49 -
48)]/2


t1 = (7+1)/2


t1 =
4


t2 = (7-1)/2


t2 =
3


But y^2 + 3 = t


For t =
4=> y^2 + 3 = 4


y^2 = 4 -
3


y^2 = 1


y1 = 1 and y2 =
-1


For t = 3 => y^2 + 3 =
3


y^2 = 0


y3 = y4 =
0


The real roots of the equation are: {-1 ; 0
; 1}.

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) ...
