Can someone please check my answers??? Given tan theta=-4/5 and cos theta > 0, find the exact values of sin theta and sec theta. Sketch the problem situation. Label the sketch with the given information. Determine the needed information.
make a triangle
I have -0.63 radians for sin theta and 1.28 for sec theta
|dw:1424211742087:dw|
there is a picture of an angle whose tangent is \(\frac{4}{5}\) find the hypotenuse via pythagoras then you can find any trig ratio you like just be careful as to what quadrant you are in
Alright, thank you! Are my answers correct though?
you are not being asked for the measure of the angle, just for the other trig ratios they probably want them written in radical form, not as decimals
Oh alright. That makes sense.
also \(\sin(\theta)\) is a number, not an angle
How do I convert my decimals into radical form?
you don't find the hypotenuse of the triangle above, then take the trig ratios you want
Thank you!
