Question

1. Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information.

tan t = -8/15, cos t > 0

2.Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information.

sec t = 2,

terminal point of t is in Quadrant IV

3 Find an approximate value of the given trigonometric function by using the figure and a calculator.

cos 1

(a) the figure (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
0.5

(b) a calculator (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

sin t = cos t = csc t = sec t = cot t =

Explanation / Answer

1) tan t = -8/15, cos t > 0

t is in IVrth quadrant

In IVrt quadrant : sint , tant are -ve

hypotenuse = sqrt(8^2 +15^2) = 17

cott = =15/8

sint = -8/17

cost = 15/17

sect = 17/15

csct = -17/8

2)   

sec t = 2,

terminal point of t is in Quadrant IV

In IVrt quadrant : sint , tant are -ve

cost = 1/2

height = sqrt(2^2 -1) = sqrt3

sint =-sqrt(3)/2

csct = -2/sqrt3

tant = -sqrt(3)

cot t = -1/sqrt3
