Answer:

sin t = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

cos t = [tex]-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

tan t = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

csc t = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]  

sec t = [tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]  

cot t = [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

In the unit circle:

  • x-coordinate of a point on the circle represents cosine the angle between the + ve part of x-axis and the terminal side which joins the center of the circle and this point
  • y-coordinate of a point on the circle represents sine the angle between + ve part of x-axis and the terminal side which joins the center of the circle and this point

In the attached figure

∵ t represents the angle between + ve part of x-axis

    and the terminal side drawn from the center of the circle to

    point P

∴ The coordinates of point P are (cos t , sin t)

∵ The coordinates of P are ( [tex]-\frac{4}{5}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] )

sin t = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

∴ cos t = [tex]-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

∵ tan t = [tex]\frac{sin(t)}{cos(t)}[/tex]

- Substitute the values of sin t and cos t

∴ tan t = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{-\frac{4}{5}}[/tex]

- Multiply up and down by 5 to simplify the fraction

tan t = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

∵ csc t = [tex]\frac{1}{sin(t)}[/tex]

- Reciprocal the value of sin t

csc t = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]  

∵ sec t = [tex]\frac{1}{cos(t)}[/tex]

- Reciprocal the value of cos t

sec t = [tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]  

∵ cot t = [tex]\frac{1}{tan(t)}[/tex]

- Reciprocal the value of tan t

cot t = [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
