easy trigo question
Id like to.confirm, cos(180-a) is -cosa right? I was reviewing my.past.notes and realised one question where I had stated that cos(180-a)=cosa. It goes.like this " given that tana=3/4 and sinb=4/5, and that A and b are in the same quadrants, evaluate cos(180-a).If you ask me.mow, my answer will.be 3/5 but my answer then was -3/5? Which of me is correct, thank for helping!

Re: easy trigo question
make use of the difference identity for cosine ...
 = \cos{x}\cos{y} + \sin{x}\sin{y})

did you use the given identity?
