Question 855537: Find the values if the trigonometric functions of θ from information given.
tan(θ)=-3/4 , cos(θ)>0
I understand when the book ask for a quadrant, but when it throws in inequalities I'm kind of confused. Please help. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the values if the trigonometric functions of θ from information given.
tan(θ)=-3/4 , cos(θ)>0
-------
Note: If tan is negative and cos is positive theta is in QIV where
x is positive and y is negative.
---------------------------------
By definition tan = y/x; Since tan = -3/4, y = -3 and x = 4
-----
Then r = sqrt(9+16) = 5
----
Ans::
sin = y/r = -3/5
cos = x/r = 4/5
tan = y/x = -3/4
----
csc = r/y = -5/3
sec = 5/4
cot = -4/3
