Work Step by Step

The best way to complete this question is to draw a unit triangle and verify through functions on your calculator. Make sure it is set to degrees, and complete the table. 1. $\theta$ = 30$^{\circ}$ $\sin$ $\theta$ = $\sin$ 30$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\cos$ $\theta$ = $\cos$ 30$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ $\tan$ $\theta$ = $\tan$ 30$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt 3}$ $\csc$ $\theta$ = $\csc$ 30$^{\circ}$ = 2 $\sec$ $\theta$ = $\sec$ 30$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{2}{\sqrt 3}$ $\cot$ $\theta$ = $\cot$ 30$^{\circ}$ = ${\sqrt 3}$ 2. $\theta$ = 45$^{\circ}$ $\sin$ $\theta$ = $\sin$ 45$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$ $\cos$ $\theta$ = $\cos$ 45$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}$ $\tan$ $\theta$ = $\tan$ 45$^{\circ}$ = 1 $\csc$ $\theta$ = $\csc$ 45$^{\circ}$ = $\sqrt 2$ $\sec$ $\theta$ = $\sec$ 45$^{\circ}$ = $\sqrt 2$ $\cot$ $\theta$ = $\cot$ 45$^{\circ}$ = 1 3. $\theta$ = 60$^{\circ}$ $\sin$ $\theta$ = $\sin$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ $\cos$ $\theta$ = $\cos$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\tan$ $\theta$ = $\tan$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\sqrt3$ $\csc$ $\theta$ = $\csc$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$ $\sec$ $\theta$ = $\sec$ 60$^{\circ}$ = 2 $\cot$ $\theta$ = $\cot$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ From examining this table further, you may notice trends among the different Trig. Functions.
