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( "================================
