**Trigonometry Problem**

*Objective: Determine the exact value of the tangent of the sum of two angles.*

**Problem Statement**

Find the EXACT value of \( \tan(A + B) \) if \(\csc A = \frac{5}{3}\) where \(A\) is in Quadrant II and \(\tan B = \frac{12}{5}\) where \(B\) is in Quadrant I. Assume all angles are measured from standard position.

\[ 
\tan(A + B) = \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} 
\]

**Steps to Solve:**

1. **Identify Trigonometric Functions**: 
   - Given \(\csc A = \frac{5}{3}\), use the reciprocal identity \(\csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A}\) to determine \(\sin A\).
     \[
     \sin A = \frac{1}{\csc A} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{3}{5}
     \]
     Since \(A\) is in Quadrant II, \(\sin A\) is positive, and \(\cos A\) is negative. Use the Pythagorean identity to find \(\cos A\):
     \[
     \cos^2 A + \sin^2 A = 1 \implies \cos^2 A + \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = 1 \implies \cos^2 A + \frac{9}{25} = 1 \implies \cos^2 A = \frac{16}{25} \implies \cos A = -\frac{4}{5}
     \]

   - Given \(\tan B = \frac{12}{5}\), use the identity \(\tan B = \frac{\sin B}{\cos B}\) to find \(\sin B\) and \(\cos B\). Since \(B\) is in Quadrant I, both \(\sin B\) and \(\cos B\) are positive.
     \[
     \tan B = \frac{\sin B}{\cos B} = \frac{12}{5}
     \]
     Use the Pythagorean identity in tangent form:
     \[
     1 + \tan^2 B
