We have\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"cos%28beta%29%2Fsin%28beta%29+=+9%2F7%29\". This number is positive, so either sine and cosine are both positive or both negative, so the angle is in quadrant III (since it's not in quadrant I).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, \"cos%28beta%29+=+9%2Fx\" and \"sin%28beta%29+=+7%2Fx\" for some negative number x that we wish to find. By the Pythagorean identity,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"81%2Fx%5E2+%2B+49%2Fx%5E2+=+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"130%2Fx%5E2+=+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+=+130\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-sqrt%28130%29\" --> \"cos%28beta%29+=+-9%2Fsqrt%28130%29+=+-9sqrt%28130%29%2F130\" and \"sin%28beta%29+=+-7%2Fsqrt%28130%29+=+-7sqrt%28130%29%2F130\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
