Suppose the terminal side of , when plotted in standard position, contains the point Q(3, 1). Find the values of the six circular functions of .
Solution
tan theta=1/3
here opposite=1 and adjacent=3
therefore hypotenuse=sqrt(1^2 + 3^2)=sqrt 10
sin theta= opposite/hypotenuse= 1/sqrt10=sqrt10/10
cos theta= adjacent / hypotenuse=3/sqrt10=3sqrt10/10
sec theta=1/cos theta= sqrt10/3
cosec theta=1/sin theta= sqrt10
cot theta=1/tan theta= 3/1
