Suppose \(u\) and \(v\) are in the interval \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right),\) with \(\tan u=-2\) and \(\tan v=-3\) Find exact expressions for the indicated quantities. $$ \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-v\right) $$
Explain why $$ \cos ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=\sin ^{-1} \frac{4}{5}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{4}{3} $$ [Hint: Take \(a=3\) and \(b=4\) in the triangle above. Then find \(c\) and consider various ways to express \(u .]\)
Suppose \(u\) and \(v\) are in the interval \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right),\) with \(\tan u=-2\) and \(\tan v=-3\) Find exact expressions for the indicated quantities. $$ \tan (u-9 \pi) $$
Find the smallest positive number \(x\) such that $$ \cos ^{2} x-0.7 \cos x+0.12=0 $$.
Suppose a 19 -foot ladder is leaning against a wall, making a \(71^{\circ}\) angle with the ground (as measured from a perpendicular line from the base of the ladder to the wall). How high up the wall is the end of the ladder?
