Transcript text: Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of the real number $t$.
\[
\begin{array}{ll}
\sin (t)= & \csc (t)= \\
\cos (t)= & \sec (t)= \\
\tan (t)= & \cot (t)=
\end{array}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given coordinates
The provided coordinates are (-20/29, 21/29). These represent (x, y) on the unit circle.
Step 2: Calculate sin(t) and csc(t)
sin(t) is the y-coordinate, so sin(t) = 21/29. csc(t) is the reciprocal of sin(t), so csc(t) = 29/21.
Step 3: Calculate cos(t) and sec(t)
cos(t) is the x-coordinate, so cos(t) = -20/29. sec(t) is the reciprocal of cos(t), so sec(t) = -29/20.
Step 4: Calculate tan(t) and cot(t)
tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t) = (21/29) / (-20/29) = -21/20.
cot(t) is the reciprocal of tan(t), so cot(t) = -20/21.
