    that correction does not count now, I have noticed you have tan(u)=-5/13 but GIVEN tan(u)=-5/12 for ex.43

    If the correction does not count now, do you mean my answer is correct?

    no, look again at 43.

    GIVEN is tan(u)=-5/12 NOT tan(u)=-5/13

    I was going to continue on in Section 5.5 but after reading your replies, I think working on 41 and 44 is needed.

    first cot(u)=3-> cot(18.43 °) I quadrant (given pi<u<3pi/2)

    then
    sin(u)=1/sqr(10)
    cos(u)=3/sqr(10)

    Although I got it wrong, I am learning. I am getting better each day.
