Find cot and cos <br> If sec = -3 and sin 0 > 0

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Second answer

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given $\displaystyle \large{\sec \theta = -3}$ and $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta > 0}$ . What we have to find are $\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta}$ and $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta}$ .

First, convert $\displaystyle \large{\sec \theta}$ to $\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\cos \theta}}$ via trigonometric identity. That gives us a new equation in form of $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta}$ :

$\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\cos \theta} = -3}$

Multiply $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta}$ both sides to get rid of the denominator.

$\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\cos \theta} \cdot \cos \theta = -3 \cos \theta}\\\displaystyle \large{1=-3 \cos \theta}$

Then divide both sides by -3 to get $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta}$ .

Hence, $\displaystyle \large{\boxed{\cos \theta = - \frac{1}{3}}}$

__________________________________________________________

Next, to find $\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta}$ , convert it to $\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\tan \theta}}$ via trigonometric identity. Then we have to convert $\displaystyle \large{\tan \theta}$ to $\displaystyle \large{\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}$ via another trigonometric identity. That gives us:

$\displaystyle \large{\frac{1}{\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$

It seems that we do not know what $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta}$ is but we can find it by using the identity $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta = \sqrt{1-\cos ^2 \theta}}$ for $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta > 0}$ .

From $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta = -\frac{1}{3}}$ then $\displaystyle \large{\cos ^2 \theta = \frac{1}{9}}$ .

Therefore:

$\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{9}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{9}{9}-\frac{1}{9}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{8}{9}}}$

Then use the surd property to evaluate the square root.

Hence, $\displaystyle \large{\boxed{\sin \theta=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}}}$

Now that we know what $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta}$ is. We can evaluate $\displaystyle \large{\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}$ which is another form or identity of $\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta}$ .

From the boxed values of $\displaystyle \large{\cos \theta}$ and $\displaystyle \large{\sin \theta}$ :-

$\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}\\\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = \frac{-\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta=-\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$

Then rationalize the value by multiplying both numerator and denominator with the denominator.

$\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = -\frac{1 \cdot 2\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2} \cdot 2\sqrt{2}}}\\\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = -\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{8}}\\\displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}}$

Hence, $\displaystyle \large{\boxed{\cot \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}}}$

Therefore, the second choice is the answer.

Summary

Trigonometric Identity

$\displaystyle \large{\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}}\\ \displaystyle \large{\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}}\\ \displaystyle \large{\sin \theta = \sqrt{1-\cos ^2 \theta} \ \ \ (\sin \theta > 0)}\\ \displaystyle \large{\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}$

Surd Property

$\displaystyle \large{\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{y}}}$

Does the choice of the base affect the perimeter of a triangle?

forsale [732]

No.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the triangle.
So it's the sum of the lengths of the three sides.

The sum of three numbers doesn't depend on what order you
add them ... I think that's the 'commutative' property of addition.

So it doesn't matter which side you start with, or even what order
the sides are arranged in. The perimeter is always the same.
