Evaluate the following expression.
sin(90°-θ)*tan(θ)*sec(θ)
A) sin(θ)
B) cos(θ)
C) tan(θ)
D) cot(θ)
The word "cosine", "CO SINE", is an abbreviation for COmplement's SINe.
90°-θ is the COmplement of θ, so sin(90°-θ) is the
COmplement of θ's SINe, so
sin(90°-θ) equals cos(θ).
Therefore:
sin(90°-θ)*tan(θ)*sec(θ) =
cos(θ)*tan(θ)*sec(θ) =
Use reciprocal identity for sec(θ):
