What is the family background of Ponyboy and Johnny in The Outsiders?

Johnny lives with his parents.  Neither of them is very
nice to him at all.  If you want to see her attitude towards him, look at the part where
he is in the hospital and she is trying to visit him.  In Chapter 1, Pony says that
Johnny is often beaten by his father and that he only the gang loves him -- not his
parents.


Pony lives with his two brothers.  Their parents
both died some years ago leaving Darry, the oldest brother, to have to get a job to
support his younger brothers.


They both have family
problems, but Pony's is a loving family, unlike Johnny's.

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) ...
