Use the given information to find exact answers for cos(x/2), sin(x/2), and tan(x/2):
Cos (x)=-4/5
180 degrees< x < 270 degrees
***
you are working with a 3-4-5 reference right triangle in quadrant III where sin>0, cos<0, tan>0.
..
cos(x)=-4/5 (given)
sin(x)=-3/5
tan(x)=sin/cos=3/5
..

..
Check:(w/calculator)
cos(x)=-4/5(in quadrant III)
x≈216.87˚
x/2≈108.43˚
..
cos(x/2)=cos(108.43˚)≈-0.316
exact value=-√(1/10)≈-0.316
..
sin(x/2)=sin(108.43˚)≈0.9487
exact value=√(9/10)≈0.9487
..
tan(x/2)=tan(108.43˚)≈-3.0000
exact value=-3.0000
