Suppose theta is an angle n the 4th quadrant with costheta x
Suppose theta is an angle n the 4th quadrant with costheta= x/4 find expressions for the other trigonometric functions in terms of x
Solution
cos theta = x/4
base = x
hypotenuse = 4
perpendicular = sqrt (4^2 - x^2 ) = sqrt ( 16 - x^2 )
sin theta = - sqrt (16- x^2 ) / 4
tan theta = - sqrt ( 16 - x^2 ) / x
csc theta = 1 / sin theta = - 4 / sqrt ( 16 - x^2 )
sec theta = 1 / cos theta = 4 / x
cot theta = 1 / tan theta = - x / sqrt ( 16 - x^2 )
