Question

sinθ if cscθ= -2

Answer 1

well what do you know about those 2 functions in relation to each other

Answer 2

That's all it says on my homework paper, 'Use the appropriate reciprocal identity to find each function value.'

Answer 3

ya, but you didn't answer my question. you have soh cah toa. and the three inverse functions. which one is the inverse of sin

Answer 4

or maybe call it reciprocal? im not good at my language

Answer 5

As far as I know it's reciprocal is csc=1/sin

Answer 6

alright then. what do you think the answer is

Answer 7

something like -1/2.

Answer 8

I just have different ones like tanθ if cotθ=sqrt6/2 and I don't really understand

Answer 9

so your correct on this problem. do you know about radians yet for the other problems?

Answer 10

WHat do you mean radians?

Answer 11

and cot and tan are reciprocals as well. radians-degrees. have you now done the unit circle yet?

Answer 12

I don't recall so I am going to have to say no.

Answer 13

well. hmm.. you need to learn about radians and degrees for trigonometry. but just to avoid that. remember that cot and tan are reciprocal identities as well. but you cant have a radical in the denominator

Answer 14

Yea, so how would I go on in doing that? I am in Pre-cal if that makes a difference.

Answer 15

print that off. it will do wonders for your trig identities.
do you know how to rationalize the denominator

Answer 16

tell me where you are at on the second problem

Answer 17

All I can really understand is that tanθ= 1/sqrt6/2, but I don't know how to make it like without the sqrt in the denominator.

Answer 18

hm. what is the reciprocal of
\[\frac{ \sqrt{6} }{ 2 }\]

Answer 19

Umm tbh I'm not really sure :/

Answer 20

You multiply the numerator and denominator by your square rooted number to get rid of the root in the bottom, this is known as rationalizing it. Here is an example
