Question

Please help! i will fan and medal!
θ is in Quadrant III and cos^2(θ)=1/4

A. Evaluate cotθ.

B. In two or more sentences, explain how to find the value of cotθ.

Answer 1

hey are you single

Answer 2

no im not haha @hadewehjsds

Answer 3

wow ight

Answer 4

im sorry to say but
MARIO

Answer 5

Square root both the sides,
after that you will get 2 values for cos theta, a positive and a negative value
but you are given theta in in 3rd quadrant so use that fact to figure out the right value

For reference:
In 1st Quadrant all trig functions are positive
In 2nd only sine and cosecant are positive
In 3rd only tangent and cotangent are positive
In 4th only cosine secant are positive

A good mnemonic to remember is
After School To College
A for all postive
S for sine and it's reciprocal positive
T for tangent and it's reciprocal positive
C for cosine and it's reciprocal positive

Answer 6

okay so cos(θ)=1/2. how does that help me know what cotθ is? @Nishant_Garg

Answer 7

Are you sure it's 1/2 and not -1/2??
Check carefully,
After that if you remember your trig table the values of 30, 45, 60, 90 for your trig functions u should be able to find your angle and then use the same table to find cot theta
Really it's more of a memory game here

Answer 8

mario
im random

Answer 9

i dont know what trig table you are talking about @Nishant_Garg

Answer 10

Basically trig values for the angles
30, 45, 60, 90 are somewhat basic and you should remember them for at least sine cos tan so really it's easy if u remember the values u can clearly tell which angle it is

Answer 11

or u can use a calculator if u r allowed
