Answer -

Given:

cos x= -3/5 and π

We know that in the third quadrant, tan x and cot xare positive and all other rations are negative.

By using the formulas,

Sin x = – √(1-cos2 x)

Tan x = sin x/cos x

Cot x = 1/tan x

Sec x = 1/cos x

Cosec x = 1/sin x

Now,

Sin x = – √(1-cos2 x)

= – √(1-(-3/5)2)

= – √(1-9/25)

= – √((25-9)/25)

= – √(16/25)

= – 4/5

Tan x = sin x/cos x

= (-4/5)/(-3/5)

= -4/5 × -5/3

= 4/3

Cot x = 1/tan x

= 1/(4/3)

= 3/4

Sec x = 1/cos x

= 1/(-3/5)

= -5/3

Cosec x = 1/sin x

= 1/(-4/5)

= -5/4

 
= [(-5/4) + (3/4)] / [(-5/3) – (4/3)]

= [(-5+3)/4] / [(-5-4)/3]

= [-2/4] / [-9/3]

= [-1/2] / [-3]

= 1/6
