I need a "catchy" title for my science fair project: Do white candles burn faster than colored candles?

Combustion, or burning is an exothermic chemical reaction,
resulting in the production of light or heat or both. The reactants include a fuel and
oxidant. In this case, the problem that you are exploring is if color
affects the rate of combustion
? This problem could serve as a title that
immediately points out what direction your experiment is going to take. Will a white or
a colored candle burn at a different rate? Obviously, the composition of each candle may
vary in terms of whatever additive is in the colored candle; this additive will not be
present in the white candle. This would be a variable that could result in a different
rate of combustion. Good luck with you experiment/project!

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) ...
