Answer:

  • sin(θ) = (2/9)√14; csc(θ) = (9√14)/28
  • cos(θ) = 5/9; sec(θ) = 9/5
  • tan(θ) = (2/5)√14; cot(θ) = (5√14)/28

Explanation:

Given cos(θ) = 5/9, you want the six trig functions of θ.

Identities

The relevant identities are ...

  • sin(θ) = ±√(1 -cos(θ)²)
  • tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ)
  • csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ)
  • sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ)
  • cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ)

Sine

The sine of θ is ...

sin(θ) = √(1 -(5/9)²) = √(81 -25)/9 = (√56)/9

sin(θ) = (2/9)√14

Then the cosecant is ...

csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ) = (9/2)/√14

csc(θ) = (9√14)/28

Tangent

The tangent of θ is ...

tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = ((2/9)√14)/(5/9)

tan(θ) = (2/5)√14

Then the cotangent is ...

cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ) = (5/2)/√14

cot(θ) = (5√14)/28

Secant

The secant of θ is ...

sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ) = 1/(5/9)

sec(θ) = 9/5

The cosine is given in the problem statement.
