What are your specific responsibilities as a citizen of your nation?

Legally speaking, we do not have any real responsibilities
as citizens of the United States.  We are required, of course, to obey the laws.  Beyond
that, however, there is nothing that we are positively bound to do (as opposed to things
that we are negatively bound not to
do).


Morally or ethically speaking, we do have
responsibilities as citizens of the nation.  Since the nation protects our freedom, we
have a responsibility to help make the nation a better place to the best of our
ability.  That would include doing things like volunteer work or charity work.  It would
also include things like voting and making our voices heard in other ways so as to try
to bring about change in our nation.


Overall, then, we do
not have much in the way of legal responsibilites, but we do have a moral or ethical
obligation to do our best to improve the country.

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) ...
