Find in the following:

tan x = –4/3, x in quadrant II

Given that x is in quadrant II


So,


90° < x < 180°


Dividing with 2 all sides


(90°/2) < x/2 < (180°/2)


45° < x/2 < 90°


lies in 1st quadrant


In 1st quadrant,


sin, cos & tan are positive


are positive


Given


tan x = -(4/3)


We know that



Replacing x with x/2








Replacing by a


4a2-6a-4 = 0


4a2-8a+2a-4 = 0


4a(a-2)+2(a-2) = 0


(4a+2)(a-2) = 0


a = -1/2 or a = 2


Hence,


or


lies in 1st quadrant


is positive



Now,


We know that


1 + tan2x = sec2x


Replacing x with x/2







lies in 1st quadrant


is positive in 1st quadrant




We know that-



Replacing x with x/2




Hence,
