Let , where sin θ > 0. Find the exact
values of the remaining five trigonometric
functions of θ.
To find the other function values, you must find the
coordinates of a point on the terminal side of θ. You
know that sec θ is positive and sin θ is positive, so θ
must lie in Quadrant I. This means that both x and y
are positive.
