FInd all other 5 trig signs if sec=-9/4, in the interval pi/2<theta<pi
cos=-4/9
sin=sqrt65/9
csc=9(sqrt65)/65
tan=-sqrt65/4
cot=-4(sqrt65)/65

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmmm
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
that interval is pretty much the 1st Quadrant
the secant can't be negative, since all sides are positive on the 1st Quadrant though
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmmm ohjhh shoot.. I read 0 dohhh
is \(\pi\) so is the 2nd quadrant
Still Need Help?

Yeah, is the rest right?
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
sec
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
|dw:1427070614746:dw|
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
all of them are correct, just that the tangent needs to be positive
because \(\bf sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}\to -\cfrac{9}{4}\to \cfrac{9}{-4}\to \cfrac{9=c}{-4=a}
\\ \quad \\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\impliedby \textit{2nd quadrant, "b" is positive}
\\ \quad \\
+\sqrt{9^2-(-4)^2}=b\implies \sqrt{65}=b\)
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmmm actually wait a sec... I see the -4 dohh
tangent is correct as well =)
