i really need a tutiorial for this trigonometry questionView attachment 60413
what is this trigonometry question i always leave them blank i cant find any useful totorial for this question please forward one tutorial if u have

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse
Sint theta = sqrt(1 - k^2) / 1
sin theta = sqrt(1 - k^2)
As theta is in 4th quadrant, sin theta is negative, thus sin theta = -sqrt(1 - k^2)

tan theta = opposite/adjacent
tan theta = - [sqrt(1 - k^2)]/k

(b) As we know theta is in 4th quadrant as theta is cos theta is positive and theta is reflex angle, so 4th quadrant means theta lies between 270 to 360 degrees. That is 270 < theta < 360. Now we are asked for 2theta so multiply both degress with 2. That is 540 < 2theta < 720. So 540 to 720 degrees both cos theta and tan theta are positive but sin theta is negative. Refrence you can look into above picture.

Hope this helped.

help me in III
I just explained similar kind in above post. Just know theta lies in which quadrant accordingly solve the question like I explained.
(iii) Sin (theta + pi) = - sin theta <------ This link will be helpful if u know addition formulas, if u dont know it then its in data booklet have a look at it. Moreover if u dont understand that as well, then here is a quick summary to do it, theta is obtuse angle means theta lies in second quadrant that is 90 < theta < 180. So Sin theta is in second quadrant, now if u add more 180 degrees that pi to theta that is sin (theta + pi) obviously ur sin theta will be negative as then theta will lie in III and IV qadrant where sin thet is negative.
so sin theta = k so -sin theta = -k
Thus sin (theta + pi) = -k

Alright, I get to the equation above but from here the M.S says that the Gradient = -k, which I don't get.
Isn't the gradient = ln y/ x^2
How is it equal to -k?
