Question : 10
Total: 61
cot x =
, x lies in third quadrant.
Solution:
cot x =
gives tan =
c o s e c 2 x = 1 + c o t 2 x ⇒ c o s e c 2 x = 1 +
=
⇒ cosec x = ±
⇒ cosec x = -
[since x lies in third quadrant]
cosec x =−
gives sin x = −
, cos x = cot x × sin x
⇒ cos x =
× ( −
) = −
⇒ sec x = −
⇒ cosec x = ±
cosec x =
⇒ cos x =
