Solution
Given:
\[\cos A = - \frac{12}{13}\text{ and }\cot B = \frac{24}{7}\]
A lies in thesecond quadrant and B lies in the third quadrant .
We know that sine function is positive in thesecond quadrant and in thethird quadrant, both sine and \cosine functions are negative.
Therefore,
\[\sin A = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 A} = \sqrt{1 - \left( \frac{- 12}{13} \right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{144}{169}} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{169}} = \frac{5}{13}\]
\[\sin B = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 B}} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{24}{7} \right)^2}} = \frac{- 1}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{576}{49}}} = \frac{- 1}{\sqrt{\frac{625}{49}}} = \frac{- 7}{25}\]
\[\cos B = - \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 B} = - \sqrt{1 - \left( \frac{- 7}{25} \right)^2} = - \sqrt{1 - \frac{49}{625}} = - \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}} = - \frac{24}{25}\]
Now,
\[\sin\left( A + B \right) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A + \sin B \]
\[ = \frac{5}{13} \times \frac{- 24}{25} + \frac{- 12}{13} \times \frac{- 7}{25}\]
\[ = \frac{- 120}{325} + \frac{84}{325}\]
\[ = \frac{- 36}{325}\]
