suppose theta is an angle in the standard position whose terminal side is in quadrant 2 and Sec theta =-13/12. find the exact value of Tan theta. I need answer before 11 o'clock, I give free metals

Question

dumbcow · Answer

easiest way it to use identity:
$$\tan^2 = \sec^2 - 1$$

dumbcow · Answer

Note that since you are in quadrant 2, tangent will be negative

so what's the answer? @dumbcow

dumbcow · Answer

you figure it out,i gave you the identity to use .... plug in value for sec to get tan

anonymous · Answer

I got tan=square root-13/12 is that correct? @dumbcow

dumbcow · Answer

nope ... cant take sqrt of neg number

dumbcow · Answer

i dont know how else to help you...plug in -13/12 for sec, then plug it into a calculator if you must

dumbcow · Answer

$$\tan = - \sqrt{(-\frac{13}{12})^2 - 1}$$
