Find the Trig Value sin(3theta)=-1

$\sin (3 t h e t a) = - 1$

Step 1

Use the definition of sine to find the known sides of the unit circle right triangle. The quadrant determines the sign on each of the values.

$\sin (3 t h e t a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Step 2

Find the adjacent side of the unit circle triangle. Since the hypotenuse and opposite sides are known, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the remaining side.

$Adjacent = \sqrt{{hypotenuse}^{2} - {opposite}^{2}}$

Step 3

Replace the known values in the equation.

$Adjacent = \sqrt{{(1)}^{2} - {(- 1)}^{2}}$

Step 4

Simplify inside the radical.

One to any power is one.

Adjacent $= \sqrt{1 - {(- 1)}^{2}}$

Multiply $- 1$ by ${(- 1)}^{2}$ by adding the exponents.

Multiply $- 1$ by ${(- 1)}^{2}$ .

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $1$ .

Adjacent $= \sqrt{1 + (- 1) {(- 1)}^{2}}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

Adjacent $= \sqrt{1 + {(- 1)}^{1 + 2}}$

Add $1$ and $2$ .

Adjacent $= \sqrt{1 + {(- 1)}^{3}}$

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $3$ .

Adjacent $= \sqrt{1 - 1}$

Subtract $1$ from $1$ .

Adjacent $= \sqrt{0}$

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

Adjacent $= \sqrt{0^{2}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

Adjacent $= 0$

Step 5

Find the value of cosine.

Use the definition of cosine to find the value of $\cos (3 t h e t a)$ .

$\cos (3 t h e t a) = \frac{adj}{hyp}$

Substitute in the known values.

$\cos (3 t h e t a) = \frac{0}{1}$

Divide $0$ by $1$ .

$\cos (3 t h e t a) = 0$

Step 6

Find the value of tangent.

Use the definition of tangent to find the value of $\tan (3 t h e t a)$ .

$\tan (3 t h e t a) = \frac{opp}{adj}$

Substitute in the known values.

$\tan (3 t h e t a) = \frac{- 1}{0}$

Division by $0$ results in tangent being undefined at $3 t h e t a$ .

$\tan (3 t h e t a) = Undefined$

Undefined

Step 7

Find the value of cotangent.

Use the definition of cotangent to find the value of $\cot (3 t h e t a)$ .

$\cot (3 t h e t a) = \frac{adj}{opp}$

Substitute in the known values.

$\cot (3 t h e t a) = \frac{0}{- 1}$

Divide $0$ by $- 1$ .

$\cot (3 t h e t a) = 0$

Step 8

Find the value of secant.

Use the definition of secant to find the value of $\sec (3 t h e t a)$ .

$\sec (3 t h e t a) = \frac{hyp}{adj}$

Substitute in the known values.

$\sec (3 t h e t a) = \frac{1}{0}$

Division by $0$ results in secant being undefined at $3 t h e t a$ .

$\sec (3 t h e t a) = Undefined$

Undefined

Step 9

Find the value of cosecant.

Use the definition of cosecant to find the value of $\csc (3 t h e t a)$ .

$\csc (3 t h e t a) = \frac{hyp}{opp}$

Substitute in the known values.

$\csc (3 t h e t a) = \frac{1}{- 1}$

Divide $1$ by $- 1$ .

$\csc (3 t h e t a) = - 1$

Step 10

This is the solution to each trig value.
