Question

E (10 pts) (15 pts) 2. 1. If sinθ = 5/13 and tanθ < 0, find secθ. Given that sinθ = 5/13 and tanθ < 0, we can determine that cosθ < 0. Using the Pythagorean identity, we have: cos^2θ + sin^2θ = 1 cos^2θ + (5/13)^2 = 1 cos^2θ + 25/169 = 1 cos^2θ = 1 - 25/169 cos^2θ = 144/169 cosθ = -12/13 secθ = 1/cosθ secθ = -13/12

          E (10 pts) (15 pts) 2. 1. If sinθ = 5/13 and tanθ < 0, find secθ. 
Given that sinθ = 5/13 and tanθ < 0, we can determine that cosθ < 0. 
Using the Pythagorean identity, we have: 
cos^2θ + sin^2θ = 1 
cos^2θ + (5/13)^2 = 1 
cos^2θ + 25/169 = 1 
cos^2θ = 1 - 25/169 
cos^2θ = 144/169 
cosθ = -12/13 
secθ = 1/cosθ 
secθ = -13/12

00:01 To begin with here, we're told that sign of a is negative 3 over 5 in quadrant 3.
00:04 So what i'm going to do is draw a reference triangle in quadrant 3.
00:07 Now that's opposite over hypotenuse, so this will be negative 3, and then this will be 5.
00:12 This is a 3 -4 -5 triangle, so i know this is going to be 4.
00:15 Now i need to make sure that i put a negative here because x is technically negative when i go to find the cosine of this.
00:21 So as you can see, the hypotenuse is always positive.
00:24 The second one here with cosine of b is in quadrant 1.
00:27 So i'm going to do that same similar process here, if i'm going to do adjacent.
00:30 Over hypotenuse.
00:31 So this is 12 and this is 13th.
00:33 When i go to find the opposite side there, i'm going to do 13 squared minus 12 square and take the square root, or recognize it's another pythagorean triple, and this should be 5...
