Solved using proportions.
Answer:
1) The terminal side lies in quadrant 2
2) cosФ = -15/17
3) tanФ = -8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, we should realize that since sinФ = 8/17, it is positive. Thus, Ф must be in quadrants 1 or 2. And since cosФ is negative, Ф must be in quadrant 2 because cos, sin, and tan are all positive in quadrant 1
2) Next, we must realize that the sides given are a 8-15-17 right triangle. And in this case, since sinФ = 8/17, cosФ should be 15/17. But since cosФ is negative, cosФ = -15/17
3) Lastly, tanФ is opposite/adjacent. Since opposite of Ф is 8 and adjacent of Ф is 15, then tanФ should be 8/15, but since Ф is in quadrant 2, then tanФ is -8/15
This is a word problem so translate to math so this is asking 6+(4/2) which is 8
The answer is 1.33333333
Rounded off to 1.34
