Suppose \(u\) and \(v\) are in the interval \(\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right),\) with $$\tan u=-2 \text { and } \tan v=-3$$ Find exact expressions for the indicated quantities. \(\sin u\)
Assume the surface of the earth is a sphere with radius 3963 miles. The latitude of \(a\) point \(P\) on the earth's surface is the angle between the line from the center of the earth to \(P\) and the line from the center of the earth to the point on the equator closest to \(P\), as shown below for latitude \(40^{\circ} .\) Cleveland has latitude \(41.5^{\circ}\) north. Find the radius of the circle formed by the points with the same latitude as Cleveland.
In Exercises 5-38, find exact expressions for the indicated quantities, given that $$\cos \frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2} \text { and } \sin \frac{\pi}{8}=\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}$$ [These values for \(\cos \frac{\pi}{12}\) and \(\sin \frac{\pi}{8}\) will be derived in Examples 3 and 4 in Section 5.5.] \(\sin \frac{5 \pi}{12}\)
(a) Show that $$x^{3}+x^{2} y+x y^{2}+y^{3}=\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)(x+y)$$ for all numbers \(x\) and \(y\). (b) Show that $$ \begin{aligned} \cos ^{3} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta \sin \theta &+\cos \theta \sin ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{3} \theta \\ &=\cos \theta+\sin \theta \end{aligned} $$
Show that $$\cos \left(x+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=-\sin x$$ for every number \(x\).
