Algebra.Com's Answer #839490 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! you are given that sin(-t) = 6/7. \n" ); document.write( "you want to define csc(t) in terms of sin(-t). \n" ); document.write( "by definition, csc(t) = 1/sin(t). \n" ); document.write( "it can be shown that sin(-t) = -sin(t). \n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of this equation by -1 to get -sin(-t) = sin(t). \n" ); document.write( "replace sin(t) with -sin(-t) in the equation of csc(t) = 1/sin(t) to get: \n" ); document.write( "csc(t) = 1/-sin(-t). \n" ); document.write( "it can be shown that 1/-sin(-t) is the same as -1/sin(-t). \n" ); document.write( "therefore: \n" ); document.write( "csc(t) = -1/sin(-t). \n" ); document.write( "that should be your solution. \n" ); document.write( "csc(t) is defined in terms of sin(-t)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to confirm that this is true, do the following: \n" ); document.write( "start with sin(-t) = 6/7 \n" ); document.write( "solve for -t to get: \n" ); document.write( "-t = arcsin(6/7) = 58.99728087 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of this equation by -1 to get: \n" ); document.write( "t = -58.99728087.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have: \n" ); document.write( "-t = 58.99728087 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "t = -58.99728087 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "csc(t) = 1/sin(t) = 1/sin(-58.99728087) = -1.16666666..... \n" ); document.write( "csc(t) = -1/sin(-t) = -1/sin(58.99728087) = -1.6666666.... \n" ); document.write( "this confirms that csc(t) = -1/sin(-t)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
