Question

What is the missing cotangent data (cot) in the picture?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Hmm.... If the angle θ is correctly marked on your photo, then your solution is incorrect.

You write the function values ​​but for the angle 180° - θ.

$\sin(180^o-\theta)=\sin\theta\\\cos(180^o-\theta)=-\cos\theta\\\tan(180^o-\theta)=-\tan\theta\\\cot(180^o-\theta)=-\cot\theta$

Therefore

for

$x=-7,\ y=24,\ r=\sqrt{(-7)^2+24^2}=\sqrt{49+576}=\sqrt{625}=25$

Let θ be this angle in your picture.

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{24}{25}\\\\\cos\theta=-\dfrac{-7}{25}=\dfrac{7}{25}\\\\\tan\theta=-\dfrac{24}{-7}=\dfrac{24}{7}\\\\\cot\theta=-\dfrac{-7}{24}=\dfrac{7}{24}\\\\\sec\theta=\dfrac{1}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{7}{25}}=\dfrac{25}{7}\\\\\csc\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{24}{25}}=\dfrac{25}{24}$
