Answer:-(√3)/2, (√2)/2, -√3, and undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can solve this.  One is with the Pythagorean identity:

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

The other way is by knowing your unit circle.

1. From the unit circle, we know that cos θ = 1/2 at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π/3.  Since θ is in Quadrant IV, then θ = 5π/3.  sin (5π/3) = -(√3)/2.

We can check our answer using the Pythagorean identity:

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

sin²θ + (1/2)² = 1

sin²θ + 1/4 = 1

sin²θ = 3/4

sin θ = ±(√3)/2

Since sine is negative in Quadrant IV, sin θ = -(√3)/2.

We can repeat these steps for the other questions.

2. sin θ = (√2)/2 at θ = π/4 and θ = 3π/4.  Since θ is in Quadrant I, θ = π/4.  Therefore, cos θ = (√2)/2.

3. cos θ = -1/2 at θ = 2π/3 and θ = 4π/3.  Since θ is in Quadrant II, θ = 2π/3.  Therefore, sin θ = (√3)/2, and tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = -√3.

4. sin θ = -1 at θ = 3π/2.  Therefore, cos θ = 0.  tan θ = sin θ / cos θ, so tan θ is undefined.
