Math Problem Statement

Write the first expression in terms of the second if the terminal point determined by t is in the given quadrant. sin(t), cos(t); Quadrant II sin(t) =

Solution

In Quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative. We can relate sine and cosine using the Pythagorean identity:

sin2(t)+cos2(t)=1\sin^2(t) + \cos^2(t) = 1

Solving for sin(t)\sin(t):

sin(t)=1cos2(t)\sin(t) = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2(t)}

Since sin(t)\sin(t) is positive in Quadrant II, the expression for sin(t)\sin(t) in terms of cos(t)\cos(t) is:

sin(t)=1cos2(t)\sin(t) = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2(t)}
