2. If the angle θ = – 60º, find the value of sin θ , cos θ, sec θ and tan θ.



Sol. θ = – 60º
sin (–θ) = – sin θ
 sin (– 60) = – sin 60
∴  sin (– 60) = - √3/2

sec (–θ) = sec θ
∴  sec (– 60)= sec 60
 sec (– 60)= 2
cos (–θ) = cos θ
 cos (– 60)= cos 60
∴  cos (– 60)= 1/2
tan (–θ) = – tan θ
∴  tan (– 60)= – tan 60

∴  tan (– 60)= – √3
