sin
x
co-secant x equals . fraction 1 , over sine x end fraction to explain why each statement is true.
- When the graph of
y
=
sin
x
y equals sine x is above the x-axis, so is the graph of
y
=
csc
x
.
y equals co-secant x .
- When the graph of
y
=

x
y equals sine x is near a y-value of
−

Indirect Measurement The fire ladder forms an angle of measure θ with the horizontal. The hinge of the ladder is 35 ft from the building. The function
y
=
35
sec
θ
y equals 35 secant theta models the length y in feet that the fire ladder must be to reach the building.
- Graph the function.
- In the photo,
θ
=
13
°
.
theta equals 13 degrees . What is the ladder's length?
- How far is the ladder extended when it forms an angle of 30°?
- Suppose the ladder is extended to its full length of 80 ft. What angle does it form with the horizontal? How far up a building can the ladder reach when fully extended? (Hint: Use the information in the photo.)
