Problema 5.RE.36

Capitolo 6, Problema 5.RE.36

Find values of the sine and cosine functions for each angle measure.
2y, given sec y = -5/3, sin y > 0

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the given information: \( \sec y = -\frac{5}{3} \) and \( \sin y > 0 \). Recall that \( \sec y = \frac{1}{\cos y} \), so first find \( \cos y \) by taking the reciprocal of \( \sec y \).

Determine the quadrant of angle \( y \) using the signs of \( \cos y \) and \( \sin y \). Since \( \sec y = -\frac{5}{3} \), \( \cos y \) is negative, and \( \sin y > 0 \) means sine is positive. Use this to identify the correct quadrant.

Use the Pythagorean identity \( \sin^2 y + \cos^2 y = 1 \) to find \( \sin y \). Substitute the value of \( \cos y \) found in step 1 into the identity and solve for \( \sin y \), choosing the positive root because \( \sin y > 0 \).

Find the values of \( \sin 2y \) and \( \cos 2y \) using the double-angle formulas: \( \sin 2y = 2 \sin y \cos y \) and \( \cos 2y = \cos^2 y - \sin^2 y \). Substitute the values of \( \sin y \) and \( \cos y \) obtained earlier.

Express the final answers for \( \sin 2y \) and \( \cos 2y \) in simplified form, leaving the expressions in terms of fractions or radicals without calculating decimal approximations.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions

The secant function (sec) is the reciprocal of the cosine function, meaning sec y = 1/cos y. Knowing sec y allows us to find cos y by taking the reciprocal, which is essential for determining sine and cosine values for related angles.

Introduction to Trigonometric Functions

Sign of Trigonometric Functions in Quadrants

The sign of sine and cosine depends on the quadrant where the angle lies. Given sin y > 0 and sec y = -5/3, we deduce the quadrant of y, which helps determine the correct signs of sine and cosine values for y and related angles like 2y.

Quadratic Formula

Double-Angle Formulas

Double-angle formulas express trigonometric functions of 2y in terms of functions of y. For sine and cosine, these formulas are sin 2y = 2 sin y cos y and cos 2y = cos^2 y - sin^2 y, enabling calculation of sine and cosine for 2y once values for y are known.
