Algebra.Com's Answer #274287 by jsmallt9(3758) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! sin is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrants. tan is positive in the 1st and 3rd quadrants. So for theta to have a negative sin and a positive tan, it must terminate in the 3rd quadrant. And in the third quadrant sin, cos, sec and csc are all negative while tan and cot are positive. \n" ); document.write( "We can use the Pythagorean Theorem or cos^2(theta) = 1 - sin^2(theta) to find cos(theta): \n" ); document.write( "cos^2(theta) = 1 - (-3/7)^2 \n" ); document.write( "cos^2(theta) = 1 - 9/49 \n" ); document.write( "cos^2(theta) = 40/49 \n" ); document.write( "Since cos is negative in the 3rd quadrant we will use only the negative square root: \n" ); document.write( "cos(theta) = \n" ); document.write( "csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta) = \n" ); document.write( "sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta) = \n" ); document.write( "tan(theta) - sin(theta)/cos(theta) = \n" ); document.write( "cot(theta) = cos(theta)/sin(theta) = \n" ); document.write( "The \"point on the circle\" is (cos(theta), sin(theta) = ( |
