Answer:


\textsf{b)} \quad -(3√(13))/(13)

Explanation:

Trigonometric ratios


\sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)\quad\cos(\theta)=(A)/(H)\quad\tan(\theta)=(O)/(A)

where:

  • θ is the angle.
  • O is the side opposite the angle.
  • A is the side adjacent the angle.
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).


\textsf{If}\; \tan(\theta)=-(2)/(3) \implies \sf O=2 \; \textsf{and} \; A=3.

Use Pythagoras Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse:


\sf \implies O^2+A^2=H^2


\implies \sf H=√(O^2+A^2)


\implies \textsf{H}=√(2^2+3^2)


\implies \textsf{H}=√(13)

Therefore, substituting the values of A and H into the cosine ratio:


\implies \cos \theta=(3)/(√(13))


\implies \cos \theta=(3)/(√(13))\cdot (√(13))/(√(13))


\implies \cos \theta=(3√(13))/(13)

As the terminal side of the angle is in Quadrant II, and cosine is negative in Quadrants II and III, the exact value of cos(θ) is:


\implies \cos \theta=-(3√(13))/(13)
