\bf \begin{array}{rlclll}
(8&,&-15)\\
\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
a&&b
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
c=\sqrt{8^2+(-15)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{289}\implies \boxed{c=17}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\quad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\\\\\\
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\qquad 
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\quad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

you've got all three values, plug them in.

Answer with explanation:

It is given that, Angle  θ is in standard position.

A line from origin O to point , P(8,-15) is joined and then perpendicular to x and y axis, is drawn cutting X axis at Point M and Y axis at point N.

OM= 8 units

ON=P M=15 units

By Pythagorean Theorem

OM^2 + PM^2=OP^2\\\\ 8^2 +15^2=OP^2\\\\ OP^2=64 +225\\\\OP^2=289\\\\OP^2=17^2\\\\OP=17\\\\ Sin (\theta)=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{-15}{17}\\\\Cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{Base}}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{8}{17}\\\\Tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{Base}=\frac{-15}{8}\\\\ Cosec(\theta)=\frac{1}{Sin(\theta)}=\frac{-17}{15}\\\\ Sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{Cos(\theta)}=\frac{17}{8}\\\\ Cot (\theta)=\frac{1}{Tan(\theta)}=\frac{-8}{15}

Point(8,-15), lies in Quadrant four. In Quadrant four Cosine and Secant Function are positive and all other trigonometric functions, Sine,Cosecant, Tangent,and Cotangent are Negative.

(3x+4)^2=14 what are the solutions?
kherson [118]
\bf (3x+4)^2=14\implies \sqrt{(3x+4)^2}=\pm\sqrt{14}\implies 3x+4=\pm\sqrt{14}
\\\\\\
3x=\pm \sqrt{14}-4\implies x=\cfrac{\pm \sqrt{14}-4}{3}\implies x=
\begin{cases}
\cfrac{\sqrt{14}-4}{3}\\\\
\cfrac{- \sqrt{14}-4}{3}
