the Battle of Hastings. All we had was Simon Finch, a fur-trapping apothecary from
Cornwall whose piety was exceeded only by his
stinginess.

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) ...
