sin(t) = 7/13

cos2(t) = 1 - sin2(t) = (169 - 49)/169 = 120/169

so cos(t) = ±sqrt(120)/13.

But sin(t) > 0, tan(t) < 0 implies t is in the second quadrant

so cos(t) = -sqrt(120)/13

And then tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) = -7/sqrt(120) = -0.6390 (approx).

How do you solve tan2 theta equals 3 where the equation for theta is less than or equal to theta less than 2 pi?

Let us denote theta by the letter 't' tan(2t)=3 2t=tan^-1(3) 2t=1.249 radian t=1.249/2 = 0.6245 radian ----(1) tan is positive in quadrant 3, so add PI to 1.249 to get another solution. The other solution for t is 4.39 2t=4.39 t=4.39/2 = 2.195 radian ----(2) The period of tan(2t) is PI/2. Therefore, the general solution is 0.6245+nPI/2, where n is any integer That is , 0.6245+nPI/2, where n is any integer Let n=1 t=2.19 -------------(3) (same as (2)) let n=2 t=3.766 -------------(4) Let n=4 t=6.99 (exceeds 2PI) ---- 2PI= 2(3.14)=6.28 Now let us add nPI/2 to 2.195 radian t=2.195+nPI/2 let n=1 t=3.766 -----------(5) (same as (4)) let n=2 t=5.3366 ---------(6) The 4 different solutions are theta=0.6245, 2.195, 3.766, 5.3366


What does 6 less than -3 mean?

It means that a number is 6 less then -3. you subtract 6 from -3 which equals -9. The answer is -9.


How do you find the variable in greater than and less than equations?

More or less solve it as if the inequality sign was an equals sign. When solving for x, y=mx+b and y&lt;mx+b are done the same way. You just end up with x&lt; or &gt; some number rather than x= some number.

How do you find theta if tan theta equals 1 and 0 is less than or equal to theta which is less than 2pi?

tan(theta) = 1 then theta = tan-1(1) + n*pi where n is an integer = pi/4 + n*pi or pi*(1/4 + n) Within the given range, this gives theta = pi/4 and 5*pi/4

How many secants in a years?

Well, the secant is a function of an angle theta that equals 1/cos(theta) - it's not really a measure of time, so it's not a meaningful question to ask how many there are in a year. It's even less meaningful to ask how many there are in a "years".


What is the value of sine theta when theta is equal to 0.4384?

We'll answer your question as asked. What was asked was, "What is the sine of the angle (the angle theta) if the angle measures 0.4384?" That's the way the question reads. That's a pretty small angle. Less than one degree. That angle has about 0.00765 as the sine. Perhaps the question was "What is the angle of theta if its sine is 0.4384?" In the event that this was really your question, if sine theta equals 0.4384, arcsine theta is about 23.00 degrees. Here we use the term arcsine. If we see "arcsine 0.4384" in a text, what it means is "the angle whose sine is 0.4384" in math speak.


In which quardant are the terminal arms of the angle lie when sin thita is less then zero and cos thita is greater then zero?

The fourth Across the quadrants sin theta and cos theta vary: sin theta: + + - - cos theta: + - - + So for sin theta &lt; 0, it's the third or fourth quadrant And for cos theta &gt; 0 , it's the first or fourth quadrant. So for sin theta &lt; 0 and cos theta &gt; 0 it's the fourth quadrant


How do you find the minor sector in a circle?

A sector is the area of a circle defined by an angle from the center and the arc of the circle. This area equals angle theta / 360 x pi x radius squared. example: r=2 inches, theta = 60 degrees then: 60/360 x 3.141592 x 2*2 = 1/6 x 3.141592 x 4 = 2.0944 sq. in. I'm assuming by minor segment you mean the one defined by an angle less than 180 degrees. and that the remainder is the greater segment?


Why tan theta sin theta divided by cos theta?

The expression tan(theta) sin(theta) / cos(theta) simplifies to sin^2(theta) / cos(theta). In trigonometry, sin^2(theta) is equal to (1 - cos^2(theta)), so the expression can be further simplified to (1 - cos^2(theta)) / cos(theta).
