FInd the exact values of the trigonometric function given that sinu= -12/13
\n" ); document.write( "sinu = y/r = -12/13
\n" ); document.write( "(Both u and v are in quadrant IV.)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If u is in the 4th quadrant y = -12 and r = 13
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "r^2=x^2+y^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = r^2-y^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 13^2-(-12)^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 169 -144 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 in the 4th quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So:
\n" ); document.write( "sinu = -12/13
\n" ); document.write( "cosu = x/r = 5/13
\n" ); document.write( "tanu = y/x = -12/5
\n" ); document.write( "cscu = r/y = -13/12
\n" ); document.write( "secu = r/x = 13/5
\n" ); document.write( "ctnu = x/y = -5/12
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " and cosv= 24/25
\n" ); document.write( "cosv = x/r=24/25
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 = r^2-x^2 = 25^2-24^2 = 49
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24, y = 7 , r = 25
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "sinv = y/r = 7/25
\n" ); document.write( "cosv = x/r = 25/25
\n" ); document.write( "tanv = y/x = 7/24
\n" ); document.write( "etc.
