Let theta be an angle in quadrant II such that cos theta = -2/3

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

So we have $\csc(\theta)=\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5} \text{ and } \tan(\theta)=\frac{-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so we are in quadrant 2, that means sine is positive while cosine is negative.

We are given $\cos(\theta)=\frac{-2}{3}(\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}})$ .

So to find the opposite we will just use the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$(2)^2+b^2=(3)^2$

$4+b^2=9$

$b^2=5$

$b=\sqrt{5}$ This is the opposite side.

Now to find $\csc(\theta)$ and $\tan(\theta)$ .

$\csc(\theta)=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ .

Some teachers do not like the radical on bottom so we will rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by sqrt(5).

So $\csc(\theta)=\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5}$ .

And now $\tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{-2}=\frac{-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

So we have $\csc(\theta)=\frac{3 \sqrt{5}}{5} \text{ and } \tan(\theta)=\frac{-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .
