Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The sine of θ\theta is given as 79-\frac{7}{9} . θ\theta is in Quadrant III3. We are to find the values of the six trigonometric functions for θ\theta

STEP 2

In Quadrant III, both sine and cosine are negative, and tangent is positive. Since we know the value of sine, we can use the Pythagorean identity to find the value of cosine.
The Pythagorean identity is given assin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta =1

STEP 3

Rearrange the Pythagorean identity to solve for cosθ\cos\thetacos2θ=1sin2θ\cos^2\theta =1 - \sin^2\theta

STEP 4

Substitute the given value of sinθ\sin\theta into the equationcos2θ=1(79)2\cos^2\theta =1 - \left(-\frac{7}{9}\right)^2

STEP 5

implify the equationcos2θ=14981\cos^2\theta =1 - \frac{49}{81}

STEP 6

Calculate the value of cos2θ\cos^2\thetacos2θ=3281\cos^2\theta = \frac{32}{81}

STEP 7

Since θ\theta is in Quadrant III where cosine is negative, we take the negative square root to find cosθ\cos\thetacosθ=3281\cos\theta = -\sqrt{\frac{32}{81}}

STEP 8

implify the square root to find the value of cosθ\cos\thetacosθ=42\cos\theta = -\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{}

STEP 9

Now that we have the values of sine and cosine, we can find the values of the other trigonometric functions.The reciprocal of sine is cosecant, socscθ=sinθ\csc\theta = \frac{}{\sin\theta}

STEP 10

Substitute the given value of sinθ\sin\theta into the equationcscθ=79\csc\theta = \frac{}{-\frac{7}{9}}

STEP 11

Calculate the value of cscθ\csc\thetacscθ=97\csc\theta = -\frac{9}{7}

STEP 12

The reciprocal of cosine is secant, sosecθ=cosθ\sec\theta = \frac{}{\cos\theta}

STEP 13

Substitute the value of cosθ\cos\theta into the equationsecθ=29\sec\theta = \frac{}{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{9}}

STEP 14

Calculate the value of secθ\sec\thetasecθ=942\sec\theta = -\frac{9}{4\sqrt{2}}

STEP 15

The ratio of sine to cosine is tangent, sotanθ=sinθcosθ\tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}

STEP 16

Substitute the values of sinθ\sin\theta and cosθ\cos\theta into the equationtanθ=9429\tan\theta = \frac{-\frac{}{9}}{-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{9}}

STEP 17

Calculate the value of tanθ\tan\thetatanθ=742\tan\theta = \frac{7}{4\sqrt{2}}

STEP 18

The reciprocal of tangent is cotangent, socotθ=tanθ\cot\theta = \frac{}{\tan\theta}

STEP 19

Substitute the value of tanθ\tan\theta into the equationcotθ=174\cot\theta = \frac{1}{\frac{7}{4\sqrt{}}}

STEP 20

Calculate the value of cotθ\cot\thetacotθ=47\cot\theta = \frac{4\sqrt{}}{7}So, the values of the trigonometric functions aresinθ=79\sin \theta=-\frac{7}{9} cscθ=97\csc \theta=-\frac{9}{7} cosθ=49\cos \theta=-\frac{4\sqrt{}}{9} secθ=94\sec \theta=-\frac{9}{4\sqrt{}} tanθ=74\tan \theta=\frac{7}{4\sqrt{}} cotθ=47\cot \theta=\frac{4\sqrt{}}{7}
