Trig Values Quadrant Ii
1. **Problem Statement:** Given $\tan \theta = -\frac{12}{5}$ and $\sin \theta > 0$, find the quadrant of $\theta$, then find $\sin \theta$, $\cos \theta$, $\sec \theta$, $\csc \theta$, and $\cot \theta$ in decimal form.
2. **Determine the quadrant:**
- $\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$.
- Since $\tan \theta$ is negative and $\sin \theta > 0$, $\cos \theta$ must be negative.
- $\sin \theta > 0$ means $\theta$ is in either Quadrant I or II.
- $\cos \theta < 0$ means $\theta$ is in Quadrant II or III.
- The only quadrant satisfying both is **Quadrant II**.
3. **Find $\sin \theta$ and $\cos \theta$:**
- Use the identity $\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = -\frac{12}{5}$.
- Let $\sin \theta = y$ and $\cos \theta = x$.
- Then $\frac{y}{x} = -\frac{12}{5}$.
- Since $\theta$ is in Quadrant II, $y > 0$ and $x < 0$.
- Use Pythagorean identity: $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$.
4. **Express $y$ in terms of $x$:**
$$ y = -\frac{12}{5} x $$
5. **Substitute into Pythagorean identity:**
$$ y^2 + x^2 = 1 $$
$$ \left(-\frac{12}{5} x\right)^2 + x^2 = 1 $$
$$ \frac{144}{25} x^2 + x^2 = 1 $$
$$ \left(\frac{144}{25} + 1\right) x^2 = 1 $$
$$ \frac{169}{25} x^2 = 1 $$
$$ x^2 = \frac{25}{169} $$
6. **Find $x$ (cosine):**
- Since $x < 0$ in Quadrant II,
$$ x = -\frac{5}{13} \approx -0.3846 $$
7. **Find $y$ (sine):**
$$ y = -\frac{12}{5} x = -\frac{12}{5} \times \left(-\frac{5}{13}\right) = \frac{12}{13} \approx 0.9231 $$
8. **Find $\sec \theta$:**
$$ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{-\frac{5}{13}} = -\frac{13}{5} = -2.6 $$
9. **Find $\csc \theta$:**
$$ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\frac{12}{13}} = \frac{13}{12} \approx 1.0833 $$
10. **Find $\cot \theta$:**
$$ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{1}{-\frac{12}{5}} = -\frac{5}{12} \approx -0.4167 $$
**Final answers:**
- Quadrant: II
- $\sin \theta \approx 0.9231$
- $\cos \theta \approx -0.3846$
- $\sec \theta \approx -2.6$
- $\csc \theta \approx 1.0833$
- $\cot \theta \approx -0.4167$
