i thought the answers to c, e, and f are: positive, negative, positive respectfully but the answers are saying: negative, positive, negative respectfully

I think it's because u have to look at the complementary ratios. For example in C. When sin(90°-θ) it= cos(θ) which is negative in the 2nd quadrant

For e you use supplementary relations so when cos(180°+θ) = -cos(θ) which is the supplement of an acute angle which is So cos in positive.

it says theta in 2nd quad.

 

[jane1820]

it says theta in 2nd quad.

Yh i see but if u take a for example
cos(180-0)=
if u do 180-A it would give a number between 90 and 0 (assuming A is any angle in the second quadrant)
then this shifts it to the first quadrant where cos is positive
therefore cos(180-0) is positive and not negative despite cos being negative in the second quadrant
(using 0 as theta)

but for c, e and f i dont get it

But how about tan(90-0)?
bc according to the rules tan(90-0)=cot(0)
n is how do ik if cotangent is negative?

consider this way. cos(180*+theta)=-costheta. We then sub in any obtuse angle (2nd quad angle). note then that the costheta is also negative. both then cancel out to become positive.

cotx=1/tanx. sub x which is in 2nd quadrant, makes cotx negative.

I'll try to explain part (e)

According to the answers the answer to c is negative not positive
thats what im trying to understand

The answer says its negative tho

its incorrect then. expanding out cos(pi+x)=-cosx using compound angle. subbing in values of pi<=x<=pi/2 should result in cosx being negative and thus the answer is going to be positive. Also view from graph its positive in that domain.

 

[pl4smaa21]

so for part (c) i think this is how to do it i think

using complementary angles we see sin(90-theta) = cos(theta)
since theta is in quadrant 2 and the value of cosine is negative in quadrant 2, it must be that sin(90-theta) is negative as it equates to cos(theta) which is always negative if theta is an obtuse angle.

shiiiii I forgot bruh. I might needa pull out the taylor series telecscoping gamma function.

 

[pl4smaa21]

jimmy am I right jimmy??? idk

allg bbg we all make mistakes

 

[pl4smaa21]

SHIT I'M WRONG man I'M SOO RETARDED

 

[pl4smaa21]

wait fuck i'mright I put in the wrong image damn it

 

[pl4smaa21]

IT'S NEGATIVE YAEEAEAEAEAEAAEEA

Idk if I’m right but I think: if u substitute an obtuse angle into sin(90-theta) then it will give you a negative active angle. Then if u apply the negative angle unit circle concept then it will be in the 4th quadrant where sin is negative
