Question

How do you find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of theta given (24, -7)?

Answer 1

I assume that the angle `theta` is between the X-axis and the line from the origin through the specified point `(24,-7)` as in the diagram below:

`sin(theta) = -7/24`

`cos(theta)= 24/25`

`tan(theta) = -7/24`

`csc(theta) = -24/7`

`sec(theta) = 25/24`

`cot(theta) = - 24/7`
