If \(\displaystyle csc(x)=4\), for \(\displaystyle 90º<x<180º\)
\(\displaystyle sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\)
\(\displaystyle cos\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\)
\(\displaystyle tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\)
I'm definitely stumped on this one. I know that this is the half-angle formulas. Luckily we all have sheets we can use for the exam. I know that:
\(\displaystyle csc(x)=4\) is the same as \(\displaystyle sin(x)=1/4\), am I correct?
From there, I don't know if I should do a sine inverse, or plug and chug for the half-angle formulas.
\(\displaystyle sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=±√(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)(1-Cos(2x)))\)
And I don't know if I have to plug for x on both sides, or if I have to find what cosine(2x) is, or If I have to plug in the double angle formula at the end there.
