Question

trig

Answer 1

what exactly are they asking me to do?

Answer 2

The ratio of opposite over adjacent is -11

Answer 3

From there you can find the lengths of all of the sides

Answer 4

And then do the sec of theta which is 1/cos

Answer 5

i see what your saying, but not sure how to get back the length.s

opp/adj=-11

opp and adj, how do you get that back?

Answer 9

lol ok. harder then it look i guess

Answer 10

nope just trig lol

Answer 11

HI!!

Answer 12

find the hypotenuse with mr pythagoras, then you can find any trig ratio you want

Answer 13

just make sure to remember you are in quadrant two so cosine and secant are negative

Answer 14

it is not harder than it looks, it is very easy
you can find the hypotenuse in your head

Answer 15

oh. 1/11?

Answer 16

no dear, you need the hypotenuse

Answer 17

the tangent is \(-11\) and so the cotangent is \(-\frac{1}{11}\) but for secant you need the hypotenuse

Answer 18

do it in your head
one squared is one
eleven squared is one twenty one
one plus one twenty one is one twenty two
hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{122}\)

Answer 19

so cos=1/sqrt 122

sec=sqrt122

Answer 20

now use your trig ratios
secant is hypotenuse over adjacent
make sure to include the minus sign since you are in quad 2

Answer 21

don't forget the minus sign!!

Answer 22

negative sq rt 122
