Beyond the Answer
Given that \( \sec \theta = 17 \), we can find the cosine of \( \theta \): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sec \theta} = \frac{1}{17} \] Since \( \tan \theta > 0 \), \( \theta \) is in the first quadrant, where both sine and cosine are positive. We can use the Pythagorean identity to find \( \sin \theta \): \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] Substituting the value of \( \cos \theta \): \[ \sin^2 \theta + \left(\frac{1}{17}\right)^2 = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 \theta + \frac{1}{289} = 1 \] \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{289} = \frac{289}{289} - \frac{1}{289} = \frac{288}{289} \] Taking the square root: \[ \sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{288}{289}} = \frac{\sqrt{288}}{17} = \frac{12\sqrt{2}}{17} \] Now, using \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \), we can find the remaining trigonometric functions: 1. **Cosecant**: \[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{17}{12\sqrt{2}} = \frac{17\sqrt{2}}{24} \] 2. **Tangent**: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{17}}{\frac{1}{17}} = 12\sqrt{2} \] 3. **Cotangent**: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \frac{1}{12\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{24} \] Now we have the values of all the trigonometric functions: - \( \sin \theta = \frac{12\sqrt{2}}{17} \) - \( \cos \theta = \frac{1}{17} \) - \( \tan \theta = 12\sqrt{2} \) - \( \csc \theta = \frac{17\sqrt{2}}{24} \) - \( \sec \theta = 17 \) - \( \cot \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{24} \)
