Question

If sin theta = and cos theta < 0, what is tan theta ?

Answer 1

What does sin theta equal? Might of got cut out?

Answer 2

12/13

Answer 3

Ok sine is positive and cosine is negative.
What quadrant is that?

Answer 4

5-12-13 right triangle in the 4th quadrant. Draw it; label it and read the function values from the triangle. Short leg 5 is on the horizontal axis.

Sine = LEG/HYP So 13² – 12² = 169 – 144 = 25 = 5² so the third leg is 5. The negative sign tells you it is in the 4th quadrant

tan θ = –12/5 and cos θ = 5/13 and cot θ –5/12

Answer 5

i know the answer i had a blonde moment i did the problem before and just went blank
