The angle θ lies in Quadrant III . cosθ=−1/6 What is tanθ ?

Mathematics

With θ in quadrant III, we expect to have both cosθ and sinθ negative. Then from the Pythagorean identity, we get

\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1\implies\sin\theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=-\dfrac{\sqrt{35}}6

Then from the definition of tangent, that is

tanθ = sinθ / cosθ

we get

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-\frac{\sqrt{35}}6}{-\frac16}=\boxed{\sqrt{35}}

Step-by-step explanation:

by Pythagoras theorem:

perpendicular² + base²= hypotenuse²

(1/√2)²+ (1/√3)² = H²

1/2+1/3= H²

5/6 = H²

√(5/6 )= H

√5/√6 = H
