Question

Angle θ is in standard position. if sin(θ) = − 1/3, and π < θ < 3π/2 , find cos(θ).
A. -(2√2)/3
B.4/3
C.2√2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin^2({ \theta})+cos^2({ \theta})=1\\cos({ \theta})=-/+\sqrt{1-sin^2({ \theta})} \\cos({ \theta})=-\sqrt{1-sin^2({ \theta})} \\ --- > sin({ \theta})=\frac{1}{3} (known)\\cos({ \theta})=-\sqrt{1-sin^2({ \theta})} =-\sqrt{1-(-\frac{1}{3})} =-\sqrt{\frac{9-1}{9}} =-\frac{2x^{2} }{3}$
