Question 8 • Precalculus

If cotangent theta is equal to 2 thirds , what is the value of cosecant theta ?

Answer
A
the fraction with numerator square root of 13 and denominator 2
B
11 thirds
C
3 halves
D
the fraction with numerator square root of 13 and denominator 3

Explanation

Since cotangent is adjacent over opposite, the sides can be taken as 2 and 3. The hypotenuse is √(2² + 3²) = √13, so cosecant, hypotenuse over opposite, is √13/3. Thus the correct choice is the fraction with numerator √13 and denominator 3.
