Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) $cos(A + B) = \frac{140}{221}$

Part 2) $cos(A - B) = \frac{153}{185}$

Part 3) $cos(A - B) = \frac{84}{85}$

Part 4) $cos(A + B) = -\frac{36}{85}$

Part 5) $cos(A - B) = \frac{63}{65}$

Part 6) $cos(A+ B) = -\frac{57}{185}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the complete answer in the attached document

Part 1) we have

$sin(A)=\frac{8}{17}$

$cos(B)=\frac{12}{13}$

Determine cos (A+B)

we know that

$cos(A + B) = cos(A) cos(B)-sin(A) sin(B)$

step 1

Find the value of cos(A)

Remember that

$cos^2(A)+sin^2(A)=1$

substitute the given value

$cos^2(A)+(\frac{8}{17})^2=1$

$cos^2(A)+\frac{64}{289}=1$

$cos^2(A)=1-\frac{64}{289}$

$cos^2(A)=\frac{225}{289}$

$cos(A)=\pm\frac{15}{17}$

The angle A belong to the I quadrant, the cosine is positive

$cos(A)=\frac{15}{17}$

step 2

Find the value of sin(B)

Remember that

$cos^2(B)+sin^2(B)=1$

substitute the given value

$sin^2(B)+(\frac{12}{13})^2=1$

$sin^2(B)+\frac{144}{169}=1$

$sin^2(B)=1-\frac{144}{169}$

$sin^2(B)=\frac{25}{169}$

$sin(B)=\pm\frac{25}{169}$

The angle B belong to the I quadrant, the sine is positive

$sin(B)=\frac{5}{13}$

step 3

Find cos(A+B)

substitute in the formula

$cos(A + B) = \frac{15}{17} \frac{12}{13}-\frac{8}{17}\frac{5}{13}$

$cos(A + B) = \frac{180}{221}-\frac{40}{221}$

$cos(A + B) = \frac{140}{221}$

Part 2) we have

$sin(A)=\frac{3}{5}$

$cos(B)=\frac{12}{37}$

Determine cos (A-B)

we know that

$cos(A - B) = cos(A) cos(B)+sin(A) sin(B)$

step 1

Find the value of cos(A)

Remember that

$cos^2(A)+sin^2(A)=1$

substitute the given value

$cos^2(A)+(\frac{3}{5})^2=1$

$cos^2(A)+\frac{9}{25}=1$

$cos^2(A)=1-\frac{9}{25}$

$cos^2(A)=\frac{16}{25}$

$cos(A)=\pm\frac{4}{5}$

The angle A belong to the I quadrant, the cosine is positive

$cos(A)=\frac{4}{5}$

step 2

Find the value of sin(B)

Remember that

$cos^2(B)+sin^2(B)=1$

substitute the given value

$sin^2(B)+(\frac{12}{37})^2=1$

$sin^2(B)+\frac{144}{1,369}=1$

$sin^2(B)=1-\frac{144}{1,369}$

$sin^2(B)=\frac{1,225}{1,369}$

$sin(B)=\pm\frac{35}{37}$

The angle B belong to the I quadrant, the sine is positive

$sin(B)=\frac{35}{37}$

step 3

Find cos(A-B)

substitute in the formula

$cos(A - B) = \frac{4}{5} \frac{12}{37}+\frac{3}{5} \frac{35}{37}$

$cos(A - B) = \frac{48}{185}+\frac{105}{185}$

$cos(A - B) = \frac{153}{185}$

Part 3) we have

$sin(A)=\frac{15}{17}$

$cos(B)=\frac{3}{5}$

Determine cos (A-B)

we know that

$cos(A - B) = cos(A) cos(B)+sin(A) sin(B)$

step 1

Find the value of cos(A)

Remember that

$cos^2(A)+sin^2(A)=1$

substitute the given value

$cos^2(A)+(\frac{15}{17})^2=1$

$cos^2(A)+\frac{225}{289}=1$

$cos^2(A)=1-\frac{225}{289}$

$cos^2(A)=\frac{64}{289}$

$cos(A)=\pm\frac{8}{17}$

The angle A belong to the I quadrant, the cosine is positive

$cos(A)=\frac{8}{17}$

step 2

Find the value of sin(B)

Remember that

$cos^2(B)+sin^2(B)=1$

substitute the given value

$sin^2(B)+(\frac{3}{5})^2=1$

$sin^2(B)+\frac{9}{25}=1$

$sin^2(B)=1-\frac{9}{25}$

$sin^2(B)=\frac{16}{25}$

$sin(B)=\pm\frac{4}{5}$

The angle B belong to the I quadrant, the sine is positive

$sin(B)=\frac{4}{5}$

step 3

Find cos(A-B)

substitute in the formula

$cos(A - B) = \frac{8}{17} \frac{3}{5}+\frac{15}{17} \frac{4}{5}$

$cos(A - B) = \frac{24}{85}+\frac{60}{85}$

$cos(A - B) = \frac{84}{85}$

Part 4) we have

$sin(A)=\frac{15}{17}$        

$cos(B)=\frac{3}{5}$

Determine cos (A+B)

we know that    

$cos(A + B) = cos(A) cos(B)-sin(A) sin(B)$

step 1

Find the value of cos(A)

Remember that

$cos^2(A)+sin^2(A)=1$

substitute the given value

$cos^2(A)+(\frac{15}{17})^2=1$

$cos^2(A)+\frac{225}{289}=1$

$cos^2(A)=1-\frac{225}{289}$      

$cos^2(A)=\frac{64}{289}$

$cos(A)=\pm\frac{8}{17}$

The angle A belong to the I quadrant, the cosine is positive

$cos(A)=\frac{8}{17}$

step 2

Find the value of sin(B)

Remember that

$cos^2(B)+sin^2(B)=1$

substitute the given value

$sin^2(B)+(\frac{3}{5})^2=1$

$sin^2(B)+\frac{9}{25}=1$

$sin^2(B)=1-\frac{9}{25}$

$sin^2(B)=\frac{16}{25}$

$sin(B)=\pm\frac{4}{5}$

The angle B belong to the I quadrant, the sine is positive

$sin(B)=\frac{4}{5}$

step 3

Find cos(A+B)

substitute in the formula    

$cos(A + B) = \frac{8}{17} \frac{3}{5}-\frac{15}{17} \frac{4}{5}$

$cos(A + B) = \frac{24}{85}-\frac{60}{85}$

$cos(A + B) = -\frac{36}{85}$
