Question

Use identities to find the exact value of the four remaining trig functions:
Sin=1/2, cos=square root 3/2
I have that the tan is square root 3/3
Can someone help me find the other four functions?

Answer 1

ok... this is an exact value triangle



you need cosec(x) = 1/sin(x) so take the reciprocal of sin(x)
sec(x) = 1/cos(x) so take the reciprocal of cos(x)
cot(x) = 1/tan(x) so take the recprocal of tan(x)

an alternate method is to use

cosec(x) = hyp/opp sec(x) = adj/hyp cot(x) = adj/opp

hope it helps

Answer 2

So if I'm getting cot first, it would be tan flipped, then multiple top and bottom by square root 3?
