use x for θ
Evaluate the expression under the given conditions. sin(x/2); tan x = − 3/4 , x in Quadrant IV (assume 0 < x < 2π)
***
working with a (3-4-5) reference right triangle in quadrant IV where sin<0, cos>0
cos x=4/5 (In Q4)

..
Check: w/calculator
tanx=-3/4(In Q4)
x=323.13
x/2=161.57
sin(x/2)=sin(161.57)≈0.3162
Exact value=√10/10≈0.3162
