The angle must be located in the 2nd quadrant. In the second quadrant: sin and csc are positive, while cos, sec, tan, and cot are negative.


\n" ); document.write( "tan(t) = 8. tan = opp/adj. Pick any numbers for opp/adj such that the quotient is 8. Don't worry about the sign of your answers. The quadrant (2nd) tells you the sign of each of the functions.


\n" ); document.write( "tan(t)= 8 = 8/1. Opposite side is 8, adjacent side is 1. The hypotenuse is \"sqrt%288%5E2+%2B+1%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2865%29\"


\n" ); document.write( "Now you can find all of the requested values. Remember, only sin and csc are positive:


\n" ); document.write( "sin(t) = opp/hyp = \"8%2Fsqrt%2865%29\" = approximately .992


\n" ); document.write( "csc(t) = 1/(sin(t) = 1/.992 = approximately 1.008


\n" ); document.write( "cos(t) = adj/hyp = \"1%2Fsqrt%2865%29\" = appox. -.124. Remember, cos is negative in the second quadrant. Don't worry about the sign, until you complete the calculation. Then add the sign based on the quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "sec(t) = 1/cos(t) = 1/(-.124) = appox. -8.062.


\n" ); document.write( "tan(t) is already given: -8. cot(t) is 1/tan(t) = -1/8 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
