just use this formula \[\tan \theta = \frac{ 1 }{ \cot \theta }\]

jhonyy9:

do you can use it ?

KingPizza:

so is the answer 5/2?

jhonyy9:

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 1 }{ \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } }= \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]

KingPizza:

wait so is the 1 in our equation supposed to be positive or negative 1? I use positive

jhonyy9:

1 is positive

jhonyy9:

so this is the correct answer do you have choices ?

KingPizza:

yes I chose 5/2, there were four options, one said positive 5/2, one said -5/2

KingPizza:

and the other two choices said different things

jhonyy9:

so if tan theta = 2/5 than cot theta = 1/tan theta = 5/2

jhonyy9:

ok ?

KingPizza:

okay thanks I got it correct
