Try this website, I don't know too much about this stuff but I found a website that explains by text and video. http://www.statisticshowto.com/how-to-use-a-probability-tree-for-probability-questions/

Use the given information to find the exact value of the trigonometric function

eimsori [14]

$\begin{gathered} \csc \theta=-\frac{6}{5} \\ \tan \theta>0 \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\text{?} \end{gathered}$

Half Angle Formula

$\cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\pm\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{2}}$ $\tan \theta>0\text{ and csc}\theta\text{ is negative in the third quadrant}$ $\begin{gathered} \csc \theta=-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{r}{y} \\ x^2+y^2=r^2 \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{r^2-y^2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{6^2-(-5)^2} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{36-25} \\ x=\pm\sqrt[\square]{11} \\ \text{x is negative since the angle is on the 3rd quadrant} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=\pm\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\cos\theta}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}is\text{ also negative in the 3rd quadrant} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{1+\frac{-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6}}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{6}}{2}} \\ \cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$\cos \frac{\theta}{2}=-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}}$

Checking:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\theta}{2}=\cos ^{-1}(-\sqrt[\square]{\frac{6-\sqrt[\square]{11}}{12}}) \\ \frac{\theta}{2}=118.22^{\circ} \\ \theta=236.44^{\circ}\text{ (3rd quadrant)} \end{gathered}$

Also,

$\csc \theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=\frac{1}{\sin (236.44)}=-\frac{6}{5}\text{ QED}$

The answer is none of the choices
