What is the angle y if sin^2y=5siny-6 ?

sin^2 y = 5siny - 6


We will
move all terms to the left side so the right side is
0.


==> sin^2 y - 5siny + 6 =
0


Now let us assume that u=
siny


==> u^2 - 5u + 6 =
0


Let us factor.


==>
(u-2)(u-3) = 0


==> u= 2 ==> siny =


==> u= 3 ==> siny =
3


Both solutions are invalid because the the values of sine
must be between -1 and 1.


==> -1 =< siny
=< 1


Then, the function has no
solution.

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) ...
