Short Answer

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of the given angle. If any are not defined, say "not defined." Do not use a calculator.

210°

The exact values of the six trigonometric functions are sin210°=-12, cos210°=-32, tan210°=13, csc210°=-2, sec210°=-23 and cot210°=3.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Determine a point corresponds to the given angle.

The given angle is 210°=7π6. This angle is multiple of π6.

From the below figure, we see the point -32,-12 corresponds to 210°.

Step 2. Determine the exact value of sine function.

The exact value of the sine function is:

sin210°=ysin210°=-12

Step 3. Determine the exact value of cosine function.

The exact value of the cosine function is:

cos210°=xcos210°=-32

Step 4. Determine the exact value of tangent function.

The exact value of the tangent function is:

tanθ=sinθcosθtan210°=-12-32tan210°=13

Step 5. Determine the exact value of cosecant function.

The exact value of the cosecant function is:

cscθ=1sinθcsc210°=1-12csc210°=-2

Step 6. Determine the exact value of secant function.

The exact value of the secant function is:

secθ=1cosθsec210°=1-32sec210°=-23

Step 7. Determine the exact value of cotangent function.

The exact value of the cotangent function is:

cotθ=1tanθcot210°=113cot210°=3
