First off, I'm not looking for answers, just trying to figure how I would solve certain problems.
If I had a problem such as:
sin A = -4/5
(-pie < A < -pie/2)
Using this, find cos A, tan A, cot A, sec A, csc A.
I know that I have to use identities, but how would I go about finding cos A? I can't find an identity that will allow me to find cos A using sin A -4/5. I guess I could use sin^2 -4/5 + cos^2 A = 1, but how would I solve that?
Also, I have absolutely no idea where to start with this problem:
-4cos((2x/3) - pie) + 2 = 0
Finally, which identity do I use for this problem:
tan(4x/5) = -1
Help much appreciated.
