In lines 110-115 of the poem "Snowbound"(Whittier), what details help you imagine the isolated quality of farm life in the 19th...

To answer this, you need to look at the words and try to
think which of these words convey loneliness -- which of them would make you think that
the people feeling these things are completely cut off from other
people.


We can see this quality of farm life in how well
the people had come to know the brook.  To them, the sound of the brook had been a
companion.  It had become so familiar to them that it came to seem almost
human.


Think about this -- what must your life be like if
you think of a brook as your friend, if you think it's almost human.  That would
indicate to me that you are really cut off from other people and do not have any actual
people to be your companions.

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) ...
