OpenStudy (dan815):

six trignometric functions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. sin, tan, sec, cos, cot, csc

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok plug into calculator using the inverse buton

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find all six? Can you baby it down for me haha

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay lol

OpenStudy (dan815):

so first look at your triangle its 35 in x and -37 in y

OpenStudy (dan815):

so enter 35/-37 in your calculator, and then do cos-1 (35/-37)

OpenStudy (dan815):

thats a button on your calculator cos inverse

OpenStudy (dan815):

do the same for sin and tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos=2.811295299?

OpenStudy (dan815):

make sure you are using degree mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it is now cos=161.0753556

OpenStudy (dan815):

that answer is in radians which is fine too if your teacher wants that

OpenStudy (dan815):

alright thats one, now do the rest

OpenStudy (dan815):

remember that 1/sin= csc 1/cos=sec 1/tan=cot

OpenStudy (dan815):

by the way that is not the only solution,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya it usually accepts fractions.
