To solve the equation \( \sqrt{3} \operatorname{cosec} \theta + 2 = 0 \), first isolate cosec: \(\operatorname{cosec} \theta = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\). This tells us that \(\sin \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\). For angles in the interval \(90 < \theta < 270\), we can find that \(\theta\) corresponds to \(210^\circ\) or \(330^\circ\) (common reference angle of \(60^\circ\)). In the third quadrant, \(\cos 210^\circ = -\frac{1}{2}\). Now onto the trigonometric expression in part 1.1.2: \(\frac{\tan \theta \sec \theta}{\cos \theta}\). Using our value for \(\theta\), we could plug in \(\tan 210^\circ = \frac{\sin 210^\circ}{\cos 210^\circ} = \frac{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{3}\) and recall that \(\sec 210^\circ = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\). After calculation, the desired expression simplifies significantly. Moving on to your simplification problem in 1.2: \(\frac{\sin 90^\circ - \cos 60^\circ}{\tan 45^\circ}\) translates to \(\frac{1 - \frac{1}{2}}{1} = \frac{1}{2}\). Finally, for 1.3 regarding \(5 \sin x = 4\), rearranging gives \(\sin x = \frac{4}{5}\). Using Pythagorean identity, \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\), we get the desired result because \(\cos^2 x = 1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{16}{25} = \frac{9}{25}\). Thus, since both squares add to 1, \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\).
