If sin (t) = 5/6, and theta is in quadrant 2, \n" ); document.write( "find the exact value of: \n" ); document.write( "a) cos(t) \n" ); document.write( "Since sin(t) = y/r, y = 5 and r = 6 \n" ); document.write( "Then x = sqrt[r^2-y^2] = sqrt(11) \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "Note: Remember; cos is negative in the QII \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "So cos(t)= x/r = -sqrt(11)/6 \n" ); document.write( "=====================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) sin(t + pi/6) = sin(t)*cos(pi/6) + cos(t)*sin(pi/6) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "= (5/6)(sqrt(3)/2) + (-sqrt(11)/6)(1/2) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "= (5sqrt(3) - sqrt(11))/12 \n" ); document.write( "================================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
