Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the
Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information. 5 sin(t)13 t) =-T , terminal point of t is in Quadrant IV cos(t) = tan(t) = csc(t) = sec(t) = cot(t) =
Solution
So, we have sin(t) = -5/13
Quad 4
in quad 4, only cos and sec positive...
sin(t) = opp/hyp = -5/13
So, we have :
opp = 5
hyp = 13
Thus, using pythagorean,
adj^2 = 169 - 25
adj^2 = 144
adj = +12
So, we have opp = 5
hyp = 13
adj = 12
cost = adj/hyp = +12/13
tant = opp/adj = -5/12
csct = 1/sint = -13/5
sect = 1/cost = 13/12
cott = 1/tant = -12/5
