Given the quadrant of theta in standard position and a trigonometric function value of theta , find the exact value for the indicated function. I, cos theta = 0.25; tan theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.25)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan(\cos^{-1}(0.25))= use calculator\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you looking for \(\tan(\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{4}))\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a triangle with \(\cos(\theta)=\frac{1}{4}\) find the "opposite" side via pythagoras \[\sqrt{4^2-1^2}=\sqrt{15}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1361457448172:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that tells you \(\tan(\theta)=\sqrt{15}\)
