Vedclass · Answer

(B) Given $\sin 	heta = -\frac{4}{5}$ and $	heta$ lies in the $III$ quadrant.Since $	heta$ is in the $III$ quadrant,$\cos 	heta$ must be negative.$\cos 	heta = -\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 	heta} = -\sqrt{1 - (-\frac{4}{5})^2} = -\sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = -\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = -\frac{3}{5}$.We know that $\cos \frac{	heta}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos 	heta}{2}}$.Since $\pi This means $\frac{	heta}{2}$ lies in the $II$ quadrant,where cosine is negative.Therefore,$\cos \frac{	heta}{2} = -\sqrt{\frac{1 + (-\frac{3}{5})}{2}} = -\sqrt{\frac{2/5}{2}} = -\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$.

If $\sin \theta = -\frac{4}{5}$ and $\theta$ lies in the third quadrant,then $\cos \frac{\theta}{2} = $
