Answer: (1a) 250° (1b) 70° (2) see below

Explanation:

1a) -110 + 360 (one rotation clockwise) = 250°

1b) 430 - 360 (one rotation counterclockwise) = 70°

2) sec Ф = -8/5 in Quadrant III

Quadrant III identifies that both sin (y) and cos (x) are negative.

sec = r/x --> r = 8, x = -5, and y = -√39

(Use Pythagorean Theorem x² + y² = r² to solve for y)


\sin\theta=(y)/(r)=(-√(39))/(8)
\csc\theta=(r)/(y)=(-8)/(√(39)) rationalized =
(-8√(39))/(39)


\cos\theta=(x)/(r)=(-5)/(8)
\sec\theta=(r)/(x)=(-8)/(5) (GIVEN)


\tan\theta=(y)/(x)=(√(39))/(5)
\cot\theta=(x)/(y)=(-5)/(-√(39)) rationalized =
=(5√(39))/(39)

NOTE THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 3 QUESTIONS PER POST. Please repost #3 and #4 as a different question and I will answer them.
