Now, keeping in mind that, sine is opposite/hypotenuse, and that the hypotenuse is just a radius unit, and therefore is never negative, then, in the fraction of -3/5, the negative values has to be the numerator, not the hypotenuse.

something else to keep in mind is that, cosine > 0, meaning is positive, that only happens in the I and IV quadrants.

since we know the sine is negative, and the cosine is positive, the only place that occurs is on the IV quadrant, so then θ is in the IV quadrant.

 \bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{5^2-(-3)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{25-9}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=a
\\\\\\
\pm 4=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{4=a}

\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\\\\\\
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\qquad 
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\quad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{4}{5}\qquad tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-3}{4}\qquad cot(\theta)=\cfrac{4}{-3}
\\\\\\
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{5}{-3}\qquad sec(\theta)=\cfrac{5}{4}

Simplify. (-5.12) - (-4.7) (7.021)
aksik [14]
First, you should do the product first:
(-4.7)* (7.021)= -32.9987

Then, let's do the subtraction:
(-5.12)- (-32.9987)
= (-5.12)+ 32.9987
= 27.8787

Final answer: 27.8787

Hope this would help~
