Mathematics

Korvikt [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin theta is the ratio of side opposite over hypotenuse of a reference angle situated at the origin in an x-y coordinate plane.  If sec theta is negative, then the only quadrant where sin is positive AND sec is negative is quadrant 2.  Remember that sec theta is the inverse of cos theta.  Puttling our right triangle in QII, the side measuring 7 is across from the angle and the hypotenuse is 11.  In order to find the cos theta and tan theta, we need the side adjacent to the angle.  Use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the side adjacent.

11^2=7^2+x^2 and

121=47+x^2 and

72=x^2 so

x=6\sqrt{2}

Remember that this value is why the sec is negative.  Because x is negative in QII, the cos theta is side adjacent over hypotenuse:

cos\theta=-\frac{6\sqrt{2} }{11}  and

tan\theta=-\frac{7}{6\sqrt{2} }

But we should probably rationalize that denominator, so

tan\theta=-\frac{7}{6\sqrt{2} }*\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} } =-\frac{7\sqrt{2} }{12}
