With \"theta\" in quadrant IV, cosine will be positive, while sine and tangent are negative.
\n" ); document.write( "That information, along with the value of one of the trigonometric functions allows you to calculate all trigonometric function values for \"theta\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and using trigonometric identities, you can calculate values for \"2theta\" too.
\n" ); document.write( "The angle \"theta\" could be the angle AOP shown below, measuring about {{-53^o}}} .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " I could make \"theta=307%5Eo\" going from A to P the other way around,
\n" ); document.write( "but if I say that \"theta=about-53%5Eo\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "or if I say \"theta=-53%5Eo%2B360%5Eo=307%5Eo\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "or even \"theta=-53%5Eo%2B2%2A360%5Eo=667%5Eo\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "the trigonometric functions of those angles are all the same,
\n" ); document.write( "because they all have OA and OP for sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28theta%29=-4%2F5=-0.8\" is the y-coordinate of point P
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D=cos%28theta%29\" is the x-coordinate of point P
\n" ); document.write( "We know that the squares of sine and cosine add up to 1, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D%5E2%2B%28-0.8%29%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D%5E2%2B0.64=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D%5E2=1-0.64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D=0.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "So \"cos%28theta%29=0.6\" , and \"sin%28theta%29=-0.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "From there, you could
\n" ); document.write( "A) calculate \"tan%28theta%29=sin%28theta%29%2Fcos%28theta%29=-0.8%2F0.6=-4%2F3\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and then apply the trigonometric identity
\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%282theta%29=2tan%28theta%29%2F%281-%28tan%28theta%29%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So
\n" ); document.write( "B) or calculate \"cos%282theta%29\" and \"sin%282theta%29\" using the trigonometric identities below,
\n" ); document.write( "and then divide sine by cosine to get tangent
\n" ); document.write( "\"cos%282theta%29=%28cos%28theta%29%29%5E2-%28sin%28theta%29%29%5E2\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%282theta%29=2%2Acos%28theta%29%2Asin%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
