Question : 8
Total: 61
cos x = -
, x lies in third quadrant.
Solution:
cos x = -
⇒ sec x = - 2
1 +t a n 2 x = s e c 2 x ⇒ t a n 2 x = 4 - 1 ⇒ t a n 2 x = 3 ⇒ tan x = ± √ 3
tan x =√ 3 [Since x lies in the third quadrant]
⇒ cot x =
; sin x = tan x × cos x = √ 3 × ( −
) = −
⇒ cosec =−
1 +
tan x =
⇒ cot x =
⇒ cosec =
