Regarding Shakespeare's Hamlet, can someone please help me with this question?Why is Hamlet so disturbed by watching the actors weep on stage as...

One of Hamlet's main problems is that he cannot seem to
get up the emotion or the necessary spirit to carry out the revenge he feels so strongly
that he must carry out.  He knows that his father was murdered and he grows more and
more sure of his uncle Claudius being behind the whole
thing.


So he is ashamed of his own inaction when he sees
the way the actors are moved to tears over this entirely false production of Hector and
Priam.  He sees their tears and their seemingly real emotion and wonders why he feels
nothing of the sort due to his very real problems.

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) ...
