If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.

9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000

If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.

If x = 9.521521521…, then

1000x = 9521.521521521…

Subtract x from this to eliminate the fractional part:

1000x - x = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…

999x = 9512

x = 9512/999

If they don't terminate, but the pattern does not continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like

9.52152152119484929271283583457…

then the number would be irrational.

cos θ = $\frac{-4\sqrt{65} }{65}$ , sin θ = $\frac{-7\sqrt{65} }{65}$ , cot θ = 4/7, sec θ = $\frac{-\sqrt{65} }{4}$ , cosec θ = $\frac{-\sqrt{65} }{7}$

<h3>What are trigonometric ratios?</h3>

Trigonometric Ratios are values of all the trigonometric functions based on the value of the ratio of sides in a right-angled triangle.

Sin θ: Opposite Side to θ/Hypotenuse

Tan θ: Opposite Side/Adjacent Side & Sin θ/Cos

Cos θ: Adjacent Side to θ/Hypotenuse

Sec θ: Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side & 1/cos θ

Analysis:

tan θ = opposite/adjacent = 7/4

opposite = 7, adjacent = 4.

we now look for the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{7^{2} + 4^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{49+16}$ = $\sqrt{65}$

sin θ = opposite/ hyp = $\frac{7}{\sqrt{65} }$

Rationalize, $\frac{7}{\sqrt{65} }$ x $\frac{\sqrt{65} }{\sqrt{65} }$ = $\frac{7\sqrt{65} }{65}$

But θ is in the third quadrant(180 - 270) and in the third quadrant only tan and cot are positive others are negative.

Therefore, sin θ = - $\frac{7\sqrt{65} }{65}$

cos θ = adj/hyp = $\frac{4}{\sqrt{65} }$

By rationalizing and knowing that cos θ is negative, cos θ = - $\frac{-4\sqrt{65} }{65}$

cot θ = 1/tan θ = 1/7/4 = 4/7

sec θ = 1/cos θ = 1/ $\frac{4}{\sqrt{65} }$ = - $\frac{-\sqrt{65} }{4}$

cosec θ = 1/sin θ = 1/ $\frac{\sqrt{65} }{7}$ = $\frac{-\sqrt{65} }{7}$
