Question

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ based on the given information.
csc θ = 2 and cos θ is negative
cos θ = ?
tan θ = ?
cot θ = ?
sec θ = ?

Answer 1

What is the csc in terms of the three main trig functions?

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure

Answer 3

Of what?

Answer 4

\(\sin \theta = \dfrac{y}{h} \)

\(\cos \theta = \dfrac{x}{h} \)

\(\tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{x} \)

\(\sec \theta = \dfrac{h}{x} \)

\(\csc \theta = \dfrac{h}{y} \)

\(\cot \theta = \dfrac{x}{y} \)

Answer 5

How would we find those ratios?

Answer 6

y is 2 and h is 1

Answer 7

@mathstudent55 hey, will you still be on in a few hours by chance? Need some studying with trig for my test tomorrow.

Answer 8

If csc theta = 2, then are you sure of the values of y and h?
