Question

Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information. tan t= -(12/5), cos(t) >0

Find sin, cos, csc, sec, cot (T)

Answer 1

this is a 4h quadrant angle since tan is negative and cos is positive

so draw a diagram



find h using pythagoras' theorem and then you'll be able to find all your trig ratios

Answer 2

Given this, I got h=sqrt119
Then sin would have been (-12sqrt119)/119. However, this was given an incorrect.

Answer 3

well no, its

h^2 = (5)^2 + (-12)^2

h^2 = 25 + 144

h^2 = 169

so h = 13

hope this helps

Answer 4

Greatly. Thank you!
