  1. Question 1

    What is the value of cos(−1230°)?

    • A√3/2
    • B−√3/2
    • C−1/2
    • D1/2
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    cos(−1230°) = cos(−1230° + 4·360°) = cos 210° = cos(180° + 30°) = −cos 30° = −√3/2.

  2. Question 2

    What is the value of tan(−1035°)?

    • A−1
    • B√3
    • C1/√3
    • D1
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    tan(−1035°) = tan(−1035° + 3·360°) = tan 45° = 1.

  3. Question 3

    What is the value of sec 1140°?

    • A2
    • B1/2
    • C√2
    • D−2
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    sec 1140° = sec(1140° − 3·360°) = sec 60° = 2.

  4. Question 4

    What is the value of cosec(−690°)?

    • A−2
    • B1/2
    • C2
    • D√2
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    cosec(−690°) = cosec(−690° + 2·360°) = cosec 30° = 2.

  5. Question 5

    What is the value of cot 1320°?

    • A√3
    • B1/√3
    • C−1/√3
    • D−√3
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    cot 1320° = cot(1320° − 3·360°) = cot 240° = cot(180° + 60°) = cot 60° = 1/√3.
