Cos Sin Third Quadrant D2C581
1. **Problem Statement:** Given that $\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $\tan(\theta) = 4$, find $\cos(\theta)$ and $\sin(\theta)$.
2. **Recall the definition of tangent:**
$$\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$$
Given $\tan(\theta) = 4$, we have
$$\sin(\theta) = 4 \cos(\theta)$$
3. **Use the Pythagorean identity:**
$$\cos^2(\theta) + \sin^2(\theta) = 1$$
Substitute $\sin(\theta) = 4 \cos(\theta)$ into the identity:
$$\cos^2(\theta) + (4 \cos(\theta))^2 = 1$$
$$\cos^2(\theta) + 16 \cos^2(\theta) = 1$$
$$17 \cos^2(\theta) = 1$$
4. **Solve for $\cos(\theta)$:**
$$\cos^2(\theta) = \frac{1}{17}$$
$$\cos(\theta) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{17}} = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}$$
5. **Determine the sign of $\cos(\theta)$ and $\sin(\theta)$:**
Since $\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}$, $\theta$ is in the third quadrant where both sine and cosine are negative.
Therefore,
$$\cos(\theta) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}$$
6. **Find $\sin(\theta)$:**
Recall $\sin(\theta) = 4 \cos(\theta)$, so
$$\sin(\theta) = 4 \times \left(- \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\right) = - \frac{4}{\sqrt{17}}$$
**Final answers:**
$$\cos(\theta) = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}, \quad \sin(\theta) = - \frac{4}{\sqrt{17}}$$
