Find the exact value of sec theta if csc theta = -4/3 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant III

Mathematics

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

Answer:

-4 sqrt(7)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

csc theta = -4/3

csc theta = hypotenuse / opposite side

hypotenuse = 4  

opposite  = 3

Using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + b^2 = 4^2

9+b^2 = 16

b^2 = 16-9

b^2 = 7

Taking the square root

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(7)

b = sqrt(7)

We are in the third quadrant so only tan  and cot are positive

that means the x and y values are "negative"  so a = -3 and b = - sqrt(7)

sec theta = hypotenuse / adjacent

                = 4/ - sqrt(7)

rationalizing  

                   -4 sqrt(7)/ sqrt(7)* sqrt(7)

                = -4 sqrt(7)/7

X + y = 3 <br>-2x + 4y = 6
Finger [1]
I'm assuming this is a system of equations you want solved so,

x = -y + 3

-2(-y+3)+4y = 6
2y - 6 + 4y = 6
6y = 12
y = 2

x + 2 = 3
x = -1

(-1,2)
