Solve the equation 5sinx=4cosx

This is an homogenous equation and we'll create the
tangent function to solve
it


5sinx=4cosx


We'll divide by
5:


sin x = ( 4/5) cos x


Now,
we'll create the tangent function by dividing both sides by cos
x:


sinx/cosx = 4/5


tan x=
4/5


We've get an elementary
equation:


x = arctan (4/5) +
k*pi

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) ...
