Question

what is cot x when sin x is 1/2

Answer 1

you have no way of knowing unless you know what quadrant you are in

Answer 2

tan is square root of 3 over 3
cos is - square root of 3over 2

Answer 3

\[\sin(x)=\frac{1}{2}\]
\[\cos(x)=\pm\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

Answer 4

sin x = O/H
A = sqrt H^2 - O^2
A = sqrt 3

cot = A/O
so sqrt 3/1

which is simply sqrt 3

Answer 5

well it might be
\[\sqrt{3}\] then again it might be
\[-\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 6

yeah... plus or minus
