Problem

The point $P=(-2,3)$ on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$ is also on the terminal side of an angle $\theta$ in standard position. Find $\sin \theta$, $\cos \theta$, tan $\theta$, $\csc \theta$, sec $\theta$, and $\cot \theta$. (Simplify your answer, including ary radicals. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression)

Solution

Step 1 :Given the point P=(-2,3) lies on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$, we can use the coordinates of the point to find the radius $r$ of the circle using the equation of the circle.

Step 2 :Substitute x = -2 and y = 3 into the equation to get $r^{2} = (-2)^{2} + 3^{2} = 4 + 9 = 13$, so $r = \sqrt{13}$.

Step 3 :Using the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of x, y, and r, we can find the values of $\sin \theta$, $\cos \theta$, $\tan \theta$, $\csc \theta$, $\sec \theta$, and $\cot \theta$.

Step 4 :We have $\sin \theta = \frac{y}{r} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}$, $\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}$, $\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = -\frac{3}{2}$.

Step 5 :Also, $\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}$, $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = -\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$, and $\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = -\frac{2}{3}$.

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer: } \sin \theta = \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}, \cos \theta = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}, \tan \theta = -\frac{3}{2}, \csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}, \sec \theta = -\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}, \cot \theta = -\frac{2}{3}}\)
