If csc(theta)= -5/3 and theta has its terminal side in Quadrant III, find the exact value of tan(2theta). \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "csc = r/y = -5/3 in QIII where x and y are negative. \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "So r = 5 and y = -3 \n" ); document.write( "Then x = -sqrt(r^2-y^2) = -sqrt(16) = -4 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "tan(t) = y/x = 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "tan(2*t) = 2tan(t)/[1-tan^2(t)] = 2(3/4)/[1-(9/16)] = (3/2)/(7/16) = 24/7 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "----------\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
