Find the values of all 6 trigonometric functions for the angle defined by the given point Solution
1. ( -2 , 1)
applying pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse
hypotenuse = sqrt ( 2^2 + 1^2) = sqrt 5
sin theta = perpendicular / hypotenuse = 1 / sqrt 5 = sqrt 5 / 5
cos theta = base / hyp = -2 / sqrt 5 = - 2 sqrt 5 / 5
tan theta = per / base = 1 /-2 = -1/2
csc theta = 1/ sin theta = sqrt 5
sec theta =1/ cos theta = - sqrt 5 / 2
cot theta =1 / tan theta = -2
2) ( -3 , -3)
hypotenuse = sqrt ( 3^2 +3^2 ) = sqrt 18 = 3 sqrt 2
sin theta = -3 / 3 sqrt 2 = - sqrt 2 / 2
cos theta = - sqrt 2 / 2
tan theta =-3 / -3 = 1
csc theta = 1/ sin theta = - sqrt 2
sec theta = 1/ cos theta = - sqrt 2
cot theta = 1/ tan theta = 1
