Can someone check my answer? The point (5/13, y) in the fourth quadrant corresponds to angle theta on the unit circle. Find sec theta and cot theta SEC=13/5 COT=-12/13

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You have the secant answer correct. However, the cotangent answer is incorrect.

OpenStudy (jaylokss):

So what's COT? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1469407069147:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hopefully you have this triangle drawn out?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

based on angle theta, the labels will be |dw:1469407149210:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \cot(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}}\] |dw:1469407192896:dw|
