Best Answer

sin A = -x/y

Since the sine is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse, let's assume the opposite leg's length is -x and the hypotenuse's length is y. Let's call the adjacent leg's length z. So:

(-x)2+z2=y2

z2=y2-(-x)2

z2=y2-x2

z=√(y2-x2)

cos A = z/y = √(y2-x2)/y

What is CosA-SinA?

Sin^2 - Cos^2 = 1 {By the Identity}Therefore (SinA-CosA)(SinA+CosA) = 1SinA-CosA = 1/(SinA+CosA)Therefore CosA-SinA = -1/(SinA+CosA)


If SecASinA equals 0 then what will be the Value of CosA?

secA(sinA)=0 (1/cosA)(sinA)=0 tanA=0 Therefore A is in 1st or 3rd Quadrant i.e A=0 Degrees, 180 Degrees.... This yields cosA=1 or cosA=-1


If cosecA plus cotA equals 11by2 then find the value of tanA?

CosecA + CotA = 11/2Cosec2A - Cot2A = 1 {By the Identity}(CosecA + CotA) (CosecA - CotA) = 111/2 (CosecA - CotA) = 1(1/SinA) - (CosA/SinA) =2/11(1 - CosA) / SinA = 2/11Therefore 1 - CosA = 2CosA = 3 and SinA = 11Therefore TanA = SinA / CosA = 11/3


Prove that cosA-sinA equals 2sinA?

that cannot be proved because it is not necessarily true.

If sinA equals 1 by 3 evaluate cosA cosecA plus tanA secA?

SinA = 1/3 = Opposite/HypotenuseTherefore taking Opposite to be 1cm and Hypotenuse to be 3cm.Therefore Adjacent side = Root of 32 - 12= root 8CosA = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = root8 / 3CosecA = Hypotenuse/Opposite = 3/1TanA = Opposite/Adjacent = 1 / root8SecA = Hypotenuse/Adjacent = 3 / root8Therefore,(CosA.CosecA) + (TanA.SecA) = (root8 / 3 . 3 / 1) + (1 / root8 . 3 / root8)= (root8) + (3 / 8)= 2(root2) + (3 / 8)
