Question 674086
using exact values {{{sinx=2/5}}} and {{{cosx<0}}}  I must use identities to find cosx,tanx,cotx,secx, and cscx.
---
Since sin is positive and cos is negative the angle is in QII.
------------------------
Since sin(x) = 2/5, y = 2 and r = 5
----
Solve for "x":
x = sqrt(r^2-y^2) = sqrt(25-4) = sqrt(21)
But x is in QII so x = -sqt(21)
--------
sin = y/r = 2/5
cos = x/r = -sqrt(21)/5
tan = y/x = -2/sqrt(21)
-------
csc = r/y = 5/2
sec = r/x = -5/sqrt(21)
cot = x/y = -sqrt(21)/2
==================================
