Find the radius and the values of the trigonometric functions of an angle in standard position whose terminal side has the following points:

1. P(-8, 15)

2. P(3, -5)

3. P(√5, √5)

 

Find the required quantities for each of the following where angle θ is in the standard position and point P(x, y) is on the terminal side of θ:

4. If x = 4 and cos θ = 5/6, find y and r

5. If x = 5 and tan θ  = 2/5, find y and r

6. If x = 10 and tan θ = 5, find y and r

 

 

Sorry for the long questions; It's just that I am stuck in answering these items...

1. P(-8, 15)       radius= $${\sqrt{{\mathtt{64}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{225}}}} = {\mathtt{17}}$$

so

adjacent=x value=-8

opp = y value = 15

hypotenuse = radius = 17

Now you can just write down all  the trig values based on these.

 

2. and 3. can be finishied similarly

 

2. P(3, -5)      radius =  $${\sqrt{{\mathtt{9}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{25}}}} = {\sqrt{{\mathtt{34}}}}$$

3. P(√5, √5)       radius = $${\sqrt{{\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{5}}}} = {\sqrt{{\mathtt{10}}}}$$
