Let θ be an angle in quadrant II such that sinθ= 12/13
Find the exact values of secθ and tan
---------
By deinition sin = y/r
---
Since sin(t) = 12/13, y = 12 and r = 13
------
Note: x is negative in QII
------
x = -sqrt[13^2-12^2] = -5
------
Your Problem:
sec(t) = r/x = -13/5
tan(t) = y/x = -12/5
