Question 16 • Precalculus
The identity 1 + cotangent² θ = cosecant² θ directly uses the given cotangent value. Substituting cotangent θ = 4/7 gives cosecant² θ = 1 + (4/7)² = 65/49, so Fatima can find cosecant θ and then take its reciprocal to get sine θ. Therefore, the best choice is “1 plus cotangent squared theta is equal to cosecant squared theta.”
