Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. θ\theta is in the 4th quadrant.
2. sin(θ)=57\sin(\theta) = -\frac{5}{7}.
3. The trigonometric identities and Pythagorean identity will be used.
4. The trigonometric functions cos(θ)\cos(\theta), csc(θ)\csc(\theta), sec(θ)\sec(\theta), tan(θ)\tan(\theta), and cot(θ)\cot(\theta) will be evaluated.

STEP 2

1. Find cos(θ)\cos(\theta) using the identity sin2(θ)+cos2(θ)=1\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1.
2. Determine csc(θ)\csc(\theta) using the definition csc(θ)=1sin(θ)\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}.
3. Determine sec(θ)\sec(\theta) using the definition sec(θ)=1cos(θ)\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}.
4. Determine tan(θ)\tan(\theta) using the definition tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ)\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}.
5. Determine cot(θ)\cot(\theta) using the definition cot(θ)=1tan(θ)\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}.

STEP 3

Use the identity sin2(θ)+cos2(θ)=1\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 to find cos(θ)\cos(\theta).
sin2(θ)+cos2(θ)=1 \sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 (57)2+cos2(θ)=1 \left(-\frac{5}{7}\right)^2 + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 2549+cos2(θ)=1 \frac{25}{49} + \cos^2(\theta) = 1 cos2(θ)=12549 \cos^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{25}{49} cos2(θ)=49492549 \cos^2(\theta) = \frac{49}{49} - \frac{25}{49} cos2(θ)=2449 \cos^2(\theta) = \frac{24}{49} cos(θ)=±2449 \cos(\theta) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{24}{49}} cos(θ)=±247 \cos(\theta) = \pm \frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}

STEP 4

Because θ\theta is in the 4th quadrant, cos(θ)\cos(\theta) is positive.
cos(θ)=247 \cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{24}}{7} cos(θ)=267 \cos(\theta) = \frac{2\sqrt{6}}{7}

STEP 5

Determine csc(θ)\csc(\theta) using the definition csc(θ)=1sin(θ)\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}.
csc(θ)=1sin(θ) \csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} csc(θ)=157 \csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{-\frac{5}{7}} csc(θ)=75 \csc(\theta) = -\frac{7}{5}

STEP 6

Determine sec(θ)\sec(\theta) using the definition sec(θ)=1cos(θ)\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}.
sec(θ)=1cos(θ) \sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} sec(θ)=1267 \sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{7}} sec(θ)=726 \sec(\theta) = \frac{7}{2\sqrt{6}} Rationalize the denominator: sec(θ)=72666 \sec(\theta) = \frac{7}{2\sqrt{6}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} sec(θ)=7612 \sec(\theta) = \frac{7\sqrt{6}}{12}

STEP 7

Determine tan(θ)\tan(\theta) using the definition tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ)\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}.
tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ) \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} tan(θ)=57267 \tan(\theta) = \frac{-\frac{5}{7}}{\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{7}} tan(θ)=526 \tan(\theta) = \frac{-5}{2\sqrt{6}} Rationalize the denominator: tan(θ)=52666 \tan(\theta) = \frac{-5}{2\sqrt{6}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} tan(θ)=5612 \tan(\theta) = \frac{-5\sqrt{6}}{12}

STEP 8

Determine cot(θ)\cot(\theta) using the definition cot(θ)=1tan(θ)\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}.
cot(θ)=1tan(θ) \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} cot(θ)=15612 \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\frac{-5\sqrt{6}}{12}} cot(θ)=1256 \cot(\theta) = \frac{12}{-5\sqrt{6}} Rationalize the denominator: cot(θ)=125666 \cot(\theta) = \frac{12}{-5\sqrt{6}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} cot(θ)=12630 \cot(\theta) = \frac{12\sqrt{6}}{-30} cot(θ)=265 \cot(\theta) = -\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}
Final values: cos(θ)=267 \cos(\theta)=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{7} csc(θ)=75 \csc(\theta)=-\frac{7}{5} sec(θ)=7612 \sec(\theta)=\frac{7\sqrt{6}}{12} tan(θ)=5612 \tan(\theta)=-\frac{5\sqrt{6}}{12} cot(θ)=265 \cot(\theta)=-\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}
