If sinθ = -1/2 and θ is in Quadrant III, then tanθ

Mathematics

Hoochie [10]3 years ago
3 0

let's recall that on the III Quadrant sine/y is negative and cosine/y is negative, now, the hypotenuse/radius is never negative, since it's just a radius unit.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{2}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{2^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{4-1}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{3}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{III Quadrant}}{-\sqrt{3}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-\sqrt{3}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{tan(\theta )=\cfrac{-1}{-\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} }\implies tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

(hg^(-3))/(w^(-4) k^0 )
Svetlanka [38]
One may note you never quite asked anything, now, assuming simplification,

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n}
\qquad \qquad 
a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{hg^{-3}}{w^{-4}k^0}\implies \cfrac{hw^4}{g^3(1)}\implies \cfrac{hw^4}{g^3}
