    any ideas? sin[arccos(-sqrt[3]/2) + arctan(-sqrt[3]/3)] (easy angles)

    . . . . .\sin\left[\arccos\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{3\,}}{2}\right)\, +\, \arctan\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{3\,}}{3}\right)\right] so I know these are easy angles and we all know the values, but what if they weren't and I couldn't use a calculator? My teacher said it can be solved using sin(a+b) = sina cosb...

    Vector perpendicular to two skew lines

    Line perpendicular to two skew lines I've been given these two lines and need to find the equation of a l line that is perpendicular to BOTH . What i've done so far: r : x = 2+3a , y = 2 , z= 3-2a Checked and they aren't parallel and don't have any commom points. s: x = 1-2b ...

    component of composite function: given fcns (f o g)(x) and g(x), how to find f(x) ?

    so lets suppose i know the composite function : (f o g)(x) and one function g(x). How do i calculate the other one? i mean i know that a composite function have several possible pairs of functions,but when i already have one of them stickied it is still many possibilities? (f o g)(x) =...

    help again geometic locus: r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1

    Consider the family of all circumferences that are simultaneously tangent to the lines r: y=-4/3x + 3 and s: y=-1. What is the geometric locus and its equation formed by all the circumferences center? I think it is a line but how do i get to the equation??

    Help completing square for conic

    x^2-2x-4y^2-24y=39 In my calculations it is ((x-1)^2)/ 4 - (y-3)^2 = 1 . But using calculators and geometry programs it is said that its (y+3)^2 instead of (y-3)^2. Please help i did it multiple times and cant understand how that 3 can be positive.
