The terminal side of theta lies on a given line in the specified quadrant. Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of theta by finding a point on the line. Line Quadrant 2x - y = 0 III sin theta = _______ cos theta = _______ tan theta = _______ csc theta = _______ sec theta = _______ cot theta = _______
Solution
2x - y =0
y/x = 2 (i.e tan (theta) = opposite/hypotenus =2)
Then,
By pythogerous theorem,
Ac^2 =AB^2 +Bc^2
= (2)2 + (1)2 = 5
sin()= y/ r = 23
csc()= 1/ sin= 3/2
cos()= x/r = 13
sec()= 1/cos = 3
tan()=2
cot()= x/y = 1/ 2
Explanation:
Any relation of the form Ax+By=C has a slope of (i.e. a tan) AB
So 2xy=0 has a slope (tan) of 2.
Furthermore, we can see that 2xy=0 passes through the origin.
