Now all six functions are positive

Just sin and csc positive

Just tan and cot positive

Just cos and sec positive

Determine the quadrant in which x terminates:

0tan and 0sec .1 xAS

T C

Now all six functions are positive

Just sin and csc positive

Just tan and cot positive

Just cos and sec positive

negative means 0sec x

Since sec is the reciprocal function of cos, then sec and cos have the same SIGN in the quadrants. If sec is negative, so is cos. Thus we are in quadrants II and III.

Tangent is positive, so we are in quadrants I and III.

Since they overlap in quadrant III, then that is where x terminates!

Find the exact value of each expression:

Step:

1. Start by drawing the given angle

2. Find the reference angle

3. Rewrite the function using reference angle

4. Determine SIGN of function in quadrant where it was drawn

5. Now find exact value using exact value chart (use reciprocal function to get value off chart)

6. Take reciprocal of value off chart to get final answer!

Cos in quad II is negative

Use cos because sec is not on exact value chart and cos is reciprocal of sec!

60cosSince cos is negative in II, sec is as well

60sec 2When you switch back to sec, you take reciprocal of exact value!

This is how you can check your answer on the calculator!
