Beyond the Answer
To find the signs of the remaining trigonometric functions, we can use the relationships between them and the information given. Since sine is positive, cosecant (the reciprocal of sine) will also be positive. For cosine, we know it’s negative, and therefore, secant (the reciprocal of cosine) will also be negative. This means: - \( \csc\left(-242^\circ\right) \) is positive - \( \sec\left(-242^\circ\right) \) is negative So, putting this all together, the signs of the six trigonometric functions for the angle \( -242^{\circ} \) are: - \( \sin(-242^\circ) > 0 \) - \( \cos(-242^\circ) < 0 \) - \( \tan(-242^\circ) < 0 \) - \( \csc(-242^\circ) > 0 \) - \( \sec(-242^\circ) < 0 \) - \( \cot(-242^\circ) > 0 \) (since cotangent is the ratio of cosine to sine, it takes the sign of sine which is positive when sine is positive)
