Relate the following statement to Miller's The Crucible: Justice is best determined in a court of law.

I think Miller's work demonstrates how true the statement
actually is.  One of the most profound elements that emerges from the drama is the idea
that guilt is decided in the court of public opinion or through political manipulation. 
Miller's work is a testament to the importance of courts of law, meeting evidentiary
burdens, and ensuring fairness in the judicial process as a part of determining
justice.  When Salem devolves into a setting where accusations and political
manipulation results in the deliberation of justice, there can be no honest pursuit of
the end.  When social and political ends that serve individual self interest are
critical elements in determining justice, I think that Miller's drama highlights that
there can be no justice.  For Miller, the legal setting where checks and balances, the
opportunity to be heard in a legal sense, as well as the basic idea of institutional
configurations where fairness is evident, can only be where justice is
achieved.

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) ...
