Trigonometry help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since we know \[\cot(\theta) \] this must be where \[\sin(\theta)=0\] since \[\cot \theta=\frac{ \cos(\theta) }{ \sin(\theta) }\] also since the interval is given as \[\theta \in \left( \frac{ \pi }{ 2 },\frac{ 3\pi }{ 2 } \right)\] we know that \[\theta=\pi \]

plug in pi for theta and find the values to each trigonometric function. You already know that cot(theta) is undefined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the beginning I meant to say since we know cot(theta) is undefined we know sin(theta) must be equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so sinθ= 0 cosθ= -1 tanθ= 0 cscθ= undefined secθ= 0 cotθ= undefined

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost the only one that is wrong is sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there you go
