Prove that:
Correct Answer
To Prove:
Proof:
Let and .
Step 1: Find and .
Since , we have .
Therefore,
\sin(\theta_1) = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2\theta_1} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{144}{169}} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{169}} = \textbf{\frac{5}{13}}Since , we have .
Therefore,
\cos(\theta_2) = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2\theta_2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{9}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \textbf{\frac{4}{5}}Step 2: Apply the addition formula for sine.
= \textbf{\frac{56}{65}}Step 3: Verify the range.
Since , lies in .
Since , lies in .
Thus lies in , which is within the principal range of .
Therefore,
Hence proved:
