Question

Evaluate the expression under the given conditions.

tan(? + ?); cos(?) = − 1/3, ? in Quadrant III, sin(?) = 1/4, ? in Quadrant II

Expert Solution
Step 1

cos(x) = -1/3   , x in  iii quadrant 

 

Thus, as cos(109.4712°) = -1/3 

Hence, in third quadrant, it will be 

x = 360° - 109.4712° 

 

=>  x = 250.5288° 

 

 

Sin(y) = 1/4  , y in 2nd quadrant 

Hence, 

y = 165.5225°
