Capitolo 6, Problema 5.1.20
Find sinθ.
sec θ = 7/2, tan θ < 0
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the definition of secant: \(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}\). Given \(\sec \theta = \frac{7}{2}\), find \(\cos \theta\) by taking the reciprocal: \(\cos \theta = \frac{2}{7}\).
Use the Pythagorean identity to find \(\sin \theta\): \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\). Substitute \(\cos \theta = \frac{2}{7}\) to get \(\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^2\).
Simplify the expression for \(\sin^2 \theta\): \(\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{4}{49} = \frac{49}{49} - \frac{4}{49} = \frac{45}{49}\).
Take the square root to find \(\sin \theta\): \(\sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{\frac{45}{49}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{45}}{7}\). Simplify \(\sqrt{45}\) if desired.
Determine the correct sign of \(\sin \theta\) using the information \(\tan \theta < 0\). Since \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\) and \(\cos \theta\) is positive, \(\sin \theta\) must be negative to make \(\tan \theta\) negative.

Concetti chiave
Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions
The secant function (sec θ) is the reciprocal of the cosine function, meaning sec θ = 1/cos θ. Knowing sec θ allows you to find cos θ by taking its reciprocal, which is essential for determining sin θ using trigonometric identities.

Introduction to Trigonometric Functions
Pythagorean Identity
The Pythagorean identity states that sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. Once cos θ is known, this identity helps calculate sin θ by rearranging to sin θ = ±√(1 - cos²θ). The sign depends on the quadrant where θ lies.

Sign of Trigonometric Functions by Quadrant
The sign of sine, cosine, and tangent functions depends on the quadrant of the angle θ. Given tan θ < 0 and sec θ > 0, θ lies in a quadrant where cosine is positive and tangent is negative, which helps determine the correct sign of sin θ.
