Write sinx as tanx⋅cosx: Since tanx=cosxsinx, we can write sinx as sinx=tanx⋅cosx.
Find cosx from secx: We know tanx=247, but we need cosx to find sinx.
Calculate sinx using tanx and cosx:secx is the reciprocal of cosx, so cosx=secx1.
Calculate sinx using tanx and cosx:secx is the reciprocal of cosx, so cosx=secx1.Given secx=−2425, we calculate cosx=(−2425)1=−2524.
Calculate sinx using tanx and cosx: Sec x is the reciprocal of cosx, so cosx=secx1.Given secx=−2425, we calculate cosx=(−2425)1=−2524.Now we can find sinx by multiplying tanx by cosx: tanx1.
Calculate sinx using tanx and cosx:secx is the reciprocal of cosx, so cosx=secx1.Given secx=−2425, we calculate cosx=(−2425)1=−2524.Now we can find sinx by multiplying tanx by cosx: tanx1.Multiplying these together, tanx2.
