We know that
sin2 x + cos2 x = 1
We can write it as
cos2 x = 1 – sin2 x

3. cot x = 3/4, x lies in third quadrant.


Solution:
It is given that
cot x = 3/4
We can write it as

We know that
1 + tan2 x = sec2 x
We can write it as
1 + (4/3)2 = sec2 x

Substituting the values


1 + 16/9 = sec2 x
cos2 x = 25/9
sec x = ± 5/3
Here x lies in the third quadrant so the value of sec x will be negative
sec x = – 5/3
We can write it as

4. sec x = 13/5, x lies in fourth quadrant.


Solution:
It is given that
sec x = 13/5
We can write it as

We know that
sin2 x + cos2 x = 1
We can write it as
sin2 x = 1 – cos2 x
Substituting the values
sin2 x = 1 – (5/13)2

Trigonometric Functions

sin2 x = 1 – 25/169 = 144/169


sin2 x = ± 12/13
Here x lies in the fourth quadrant so the value of sin x will be negative
sin x = – 12/13
We can write it as

5. tan x = -5/12, x lies in second quadrant.


Solution:
It is given that
tan x = – 5/12
We can write it as

We know that
1 + tan2 x = sec2 x
We can write it as
1 + (-5/12)2 = sec2 x
Substituting the values
1 + 25/144 = sec2 x
sec2 x = 169/144
sec x = ± 13/12
Here x lies in the second quadrant so the value of sec x will be negative
sec x = – 13/12
