Find remaining trigonometric functions If sin(x) =-1/2 and x is in the fourth quadrant where x is positive and y is negative.
-----------------------------
Since sin = y/r, y = -1 and r = 2
------
Then x = sqrt(2^2- (-1)^2)) = sqrt(3)
------
sin = -1/2
cos = sqrt(3)/2
tan = y/x = -1/sqrt(3)
csc = 1/sin
sec = 1/cos
cot = 1/tan
--------------
