If csc of theta is 3 and cos of theta is less than 0, \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "From that you can say that theta is in Q2 where x is negative and y is positive. \n" ); document.write( "csc = r/y = 3/1 implies that r = 4 and y = 1 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "r^2 = x^2 + y^2 \n" ); document.write( "4^2 = x^2 + 1 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 15 \n" ); document.write( "x = -sqrt(15) (because x is negative in Q2) \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "find sin = y/r = 1/3 \n" ); document.write( "cos = x/r = -sqrt(15)/4 \n" ); document.write( "tan = y/x = -1/sqrt(15) \n" ); document.write( "cot = x/y = -sqrt(15) \n" ); document.write( "sec = r/x = -4/sqrt(15) \n" ); document.write( "================================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
