Question:
Value of cosec (−1410°) is A 1/2 B −1/2 C √3/2 D 2
Answer:
Answer: B -1/2
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to use the definition of cosecant. Cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine of an angle.
Therefore, we can calculate the value of cosecant (−1410°) as follows:
cosec (−1410°) = 1 / sin (−1410°)
Since sin (−1410°) = -1/2,
cosec (−1410°) = -1/2
Hence, the answer is B -1/2.

Question:
cosx=−1/3, x in quadrant III. Find the value of sin x/2,cos x/2,tan x/2
Answer:
-
sin x/2 = √(1 - cos2x/4) = √(1 - (-1/9)) = √(10/9)

Finally, find the value of tanx using the equation: tanx = sinx/cosx tanx = 12/5
Question:
Find the value of tan19π/3
Answer:
Step 1: Convert 19π/3 into radians.
19π/3 = 19π/3 × (180°/π) = 570°
Step 2: Find the value of tan 570°.
tan 570° = tan(540° + 30°) = tan 540° × tan 30° + tan 540° ÷ tan 30° = 0 × 1/√3 + 0 = 0

Question:
Find the value of other five trigonometric ratios: cotx=3/4, x lies in third quadrant.
Answer:
-
First, we need to find the measure of angle x. To do this, we can use the inverse cotangent function: x = arccot(3/4)
-
Next, we can find the value of the other five trigonometric ratios for angle x: sin x = -sqrt(3)/2 cos x = -1/2 tan x = -sqrt(3) sec x = -2 csc x = -2sqrt(3)
Question:
tanx=−5/12,x lies in second quadrant.
Answer:
-
First, use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the adjacent side: adjacent side = 12
-
Next, use the tangent ratio to calculate the opposite side: opposite side = -5
-
Then, use the inverse tangent function to calculate the angle: angle = -63.43°
-
Since the angle lies in the second quadrant, the angle must be between -90° and 0°: x = -63.43°
Question:
Find the value of sin(765o).
Answer:
Step 1: Convert 765° into radians.
1° = π/180 radians
765° = (765 × π) / 180 radians
Step 2: Use the formula sin(x) = x - x3/3! + x5/5! - x7/7! + … to calculate the value of sin(765o).
sin(765o) = (765π/180) - (765π/180)3/3! + (765π/180)5/5! - (765π/180)7/7! + …
