If anyone could explain how to do this that would be great

OpenStudy (bibby):

I think we'd start by drawing the reference angle, we know it's not in the first quadrant because cosine is negative and everything in the first quadrant is positive|dw:1428301425735:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are these the correct answers?

OpenStudy (bibby):

dunno, let's see.|dw:1428301828931:dw|

OpenStudy (bibby):

sinx = 2sqrt6/5 cscx =5/2sqrt6 tan = 2sqrt6 cot = 1/2sqrt6
