Let θ be an angle in the standard position such that the point ( - 5 , 12 ) lies on its terminal side, then
Options
- A| sin θ | = - sin θ
- B| cos θ | = cos θ
- C| tan θ | = - tan θ
- D| cosec θ | = - cosec θ
Correct answer
C. | tan θ | = - tan θ
Step-by-step solution
Clearly, the point - 5 , 12 lies in second quadrant. Since, it's x - coordinate is negative and y - coordinate is positive. We know that, in second quadrant sin θ   &   cos e c θ are positive and cos θ ,   s e c θ ,   tan θ   &   c o t θ are negative. So, by using definition of modulus function, we get | sin θ | = sin θ , | cos θ | = - cos θ , | tan θ | = - tan θ , | cos e c θ | = cos e c θ .
