Should we find cos theta if sec theta equals -10?
No.
What is sec theta if sin theta equals 2 over 3 with theta in quadrant 1?
sin(t) = 2/3 sin2(t) + cos2(t) = 1 so cos(t) = ± sqrt[1 - sin2(t)] but because t is in the first quadrant, cos(t) > 0 so cos(t) = + sqrt[1 - sin2(t)] = sqrt[1 - 4/9] = sqrt[5/9] = sqrt(5)/3 Then sec(t) = 1/cos(t) = 1/sqrt(5)/3 = 3/sqrt(5) = 3*sqrt(5)/5
How would you solve and show work for cos2 theta if cos squared theta equals 1 and theta is in the 4th quadrant?
cos2(theta) = 1 cos2(theta) + sin2(theta) = 1 so sin2(theta) = 0 cos(2*theta) = cos2(theta) - sin2(theta) = 1 - 0 = 1
What are the Pythagorean identities?
There are three of them. Granted this means that there are different variations of all three. I'll show you the variations as well. This is coming straight from my Math 1060 (Trigonometry) notebook. Sorry there is no key to represent the angle; Theta.1. Sin2 (of Theta) + Cos2 (of Theta)= 1Variations: Sin2 (of Theta) = 1- Cos2 (of Theta)AND: Cos2 (of Theta) = 1-Sin2 (of Theta)2. Tan2 (of Theta) + 1 = sec2 (of Theta)Variations: Tan2 (of Theta) = Sec2 (of Theta) -13. 1 + Cot2 (of Theta) = Csc2 (of Theta)Variations: Cot2 (of Theta) = Csc2 (of Theta) -1
How do you get the csc theta given tan theta in quadrant 1?
If tan(theta) = x then sin(theta) = x/(sqrt(x2 + 1) so that csc(theta) = [(sqrt(x2 + 1)]/x = sqrt(1 + 1/x2)
