Compute a specific trigonometric value by applying sum or difference identities (e.g., sin(α+β), cos(α−β), tan(α−π/4)) given information about the individual angles.
As shown in the figure, in triangle ABC with $\overline { \mathrm { AB } } = 5 , \overline { \mathrm { AC } } = 2 \sqrt { 5 }$, let D be the foot of the perpendicular from vertex A to segment BC. For point E that divides segment AD internally in the ratio $3 : 1$, we have $\overline { \mathrm { EC } } = \sqrt { 5 }$. If $\angle \mathrm { ABD } = \alpha , \angle \mathrm { DCE } = \beta$, what is the value of $\cos ( \alpha - \beta )$? [4 points] (1) $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 5 }$ (2) $\frac { \sqrt { 5 } } { 4 }$ (3) $\frac { 3 \sqrt { 5 } } { 10 }$ (4) $\frac { 7 \sqrt { 5 } } { 20 }$ (5) $\frac { 2 \sqrt { 5 } } { 5 }$
Given that $\alpha$ is an angle in the first quadrant, $\beta$ is an angle in the third quadrant, $\tan \alpha + \tan \beta = 4$, $\tan \alpha \tan \beta = \sqrt { 2 } + 1$, then $\sin ( \alpha + \beta ) =$ $\_\_\_\_$ .
110. If the terminal side of arc $\alpha$ is in the second quadrant and $\sin\alpha = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{10}$, what is the value of $\cos\!\left(\dfrac{11\pi}{4} + \alpha\right)$? $$-\frac{4}{5} \quad (1) \qquad -\frac{3}{5} \quad (2) \qquad \frac{3}{5} \quad (3) \qquad \frac{4}{5} \quad (4)$$
For $\alpha, \beta \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ let $3\sin(\alpha + \beta) = 2\sin(\alpha - \beta)$ and a real number $k$ be such that $\tan\alpha = k\tan\beta$. Then the value of $k$ is equal to (1) $-5$ (2) $5$ (3) $\frac{2}{3}$ (4) $-\frac{2}{3}$
