Let β\beta be an angle for which cos⁡β=−513\cos\beta=-\dfrac{5}{13} and β\beta lies in the third quadrant. a. Determine sin⁡β\sin\beta without using a calculator. b. Find the value of tan⁡β\tan\beta in simplest form. c. Evaluate the expression S=sin⁡β+cos⁡β+tan⁡βS=\sin\beta+\cos\beta+\tan\beta, giving your answer as a single simplified fraction.
