Answer:

In quadrant ll,

cos theta = -3/5

tan theta = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrant ll, only sin is positive, cos and tan are negative

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse = 4/5

From Pythagoras theorem,

adjacent = sqrt(hyp^2 - opp^2) = sqrt(5^2 - 4^2) = sqrt(25 - 16) = sqrt(9) = 3

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse = -3/5

tan theta = opposite/adjacent = -4/3

Using the pythagorean identity, \cos^2{\theta} + \sin^2{\theta} = 1. Since \theta is in quadrant ||, we know that \cos{\theta} is negative. Solving the equation \cos^2{\theta} + (\frac{4}{5})^2 = 1 for \cos{\theta}, we get that \cos{\theta} = -\frac{3}{5}.

\tan{\theta} is equal to \frac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}, which is -\frac{4}{3}.

How do I graph y is less than -1 on a number graph
lana66690 [7]
I used a dash line because the term 'less than' does not include the value itself.
