Think of \"+5%2Api%2F3+\" as \"+6%2Api%2F3+-+pi%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is \"+2%2Api+-+pi%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This makes a negative 60 degree angle with
\n" ); document.write( "the 0 degree vector, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sec%28+5%2Api%2F3+%29+=+1%2Fcos%28+-pi%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2Fcos%28+-pi%2F3+%29+=+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+tan%28+5%2Api%2F4+%29+=+tan%28+4%2Api%2F4+%2B+pi%2F4+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is a tangent in the 3rd quadrant which
\n" ); document.write( "is (-)/(-) and is positive
\n" ); document.write( "\"+tan%28+5%2Api%2F4+%29+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+cot%28+2%2Api%2F3+%29+=+cot%28+3%2Api%2F3+-+pi%2F3+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is a cotangent in the 2nd quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "which is negative
\n" ); document.write( "\"+cot%28+2%2Api%2F3+%29+=+-1%2Fsqrt%283%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sin%28+-pi%2F3+%29+\" is a sine function in the 4th quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "which is negative.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sin%28+-pi%2F3+%29+=+-sqrt%283%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Putting it all together:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A1+-+%28+-1%2Fsqrt%283%29+%29%2A%28+-sqrt%283%29%2F2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+-+1%2F2+=+3%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check the math. I just used trig functions of
\n" ); document.write( "\"+pi%2F3+\" in different quadrants
\n" ); document.write( "and also a function of \"+pi%2F4+\" in the 3rd quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
