Find the values of six trigonometric functions of theta with
Find the values of six trigonometric functions of theta with given constraint tan theta = -15/8, Constraint: theta lies in Quadrant II.
Solution
tan theta=-15/8 theta lies in second quadrant
Here opposite=15 and adjacent=8
hypotenuse=sqrt(152+82) = 17
sine is positive in seond quadrant and cosine is negative
sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse= 15/17
cos theta=adjacent/hypotenuse = -8/17
cosec theta=1/sin theta= 17/15
sec theta=1/cos theta= -17/8
cot theta=1/tan theta= -8/15
