Find the value of other five trigonometric ratios: cotx = 3/4, x lies in third quadrant.
Solution:
cotx=3/4 → tanx=1/cotx=4/3 Now 1+tan²x=sec²x → sec²x=1+(16/9) → sec²x=25/9 secx=±5/3 Since x lies in third quadrant, the value of secx will be negative. ∴secx=-5/3 cosx=1/secx=-3/5 tanx=sinx/cosx → sinx=(4/3)×(-3/5)=-4/5 ∴cscx=1/sinx=-5/4
