Find the exact value of each of the following under the given conditions below. $\tan \alpha = -\frac{4}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2} < \alpha < \pi; \cos \beta = \frac{1}{2}, 0 < \beta < \frac{\pi}{2}$ (a) $\sin (\alpha + \beta)$ (b) $\cos (\alpha + \beta)$ (c) $\sin (\alpha - \beta)$ (d) $\tan (\alpha - \beta)$ (a) $\sin (\alpha + \beta) = $ (Simplify your answer, including any radicals. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)
