Are the following true or false & why? cos(-175°) = cos(175°) cos(32°) = sin(58°) sin(π/3) = 1/sec(π/3) cos(2π/3) = cos(4π/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one is true because cosine is even

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is to say \[\cos(x)=\cos(-x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello anwar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second one is true because they add up to 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

third one is false because the reciprocal of sine is cosecant, not secant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how am i doing so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 4th is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CAST RULE!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2pi/3 and 4pi/3 , both have relative angles of pi/3 with the x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and cos is negative in both 2 and 3rd quadrants

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the monkey is cast rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thing its something similar to ASTC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please tell me, what is the cast rule? lol!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i see that they are the same from drawing a circle. so the answer is true. so i am not casting any doubts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it tells you when the trig functions are positive going counterclockwise from the fourth quadrent labelling it C, then A, then S, T. C= cosine, A all, S = sine, T tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for all of the trouble I'm causing! I just really don't understand any of this :( But you guys are really helping out!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeh I wouldnt worry about this cast rule thing, its the first time I have ever heard of it, ever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will only confuse you
