Check my trig question
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

hmmm
that interval is pretty much the 1st Quadrant the secant can't be negative, since all sides are positive on the 1st Quadrant though
hmmm ohjhh shoot.. I read 0 dohhh is \(\pi\) so is the 2nd quadrant
Yeah, is the rest right?
sec
|dw:1427070614746:dw|
all of them are correct, just that the tangent needs to be positive because \(\bf sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}\to -\cfrac{9}{4}\to \cfrac{9}{-4}\to \cfrac{9=c}{-4=a} \\ \quad \\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\impliedby \textit{2nd quadrant, "b" is positive} \\ \quad \\ +\sqrt{9^2-(-4)^2}=b\implies \sqrt{65}=b\)
hmmm actually wait a sec... I see the -4 dohh tangent is correct as well =)
lol, thanks again ;p
