Question

Cho \(\tan \alpha  = \frac{2}{3}\) với \(\pi  < \alpha  < \frac{{3\pi }}{2}\). Tính \(\cos \alpha \) và \(\sin \alpha \)

Answer 1

Ta có:

 \(\begin{array}{l}{\tan ^2}\alpha  + 1 = \frac{1}{{{{\cos }^2}\alpha }}\\ \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^2} + 1 = \frac{1}{{{{\cos }^2}\alpha }}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{{\cos }^2}\alpha }} = \frac{{13}}{9}\\ \Rightarrow \cos \alpha  =  \pm \frac{{3\sqrt {13} }}{{13}}\end{array}\)

Do \(\pi  < \alpha  < \frac{{3\pi }}{2} \Rightarrow \cos \alpha  =  - \frac{{3\sqrt {13} }}{{13}}\)

Ta có: \(\begin{array}{l}\tan \alpha  = \frac{{\sin \alpha }}{{\cos \alpha }} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} = \sin \alpha :\left( { - \frac{{3\sqrt {13} }}{{13}}} \right)\\ \Rightarrow \sin \alpha  =  - \frac{{2\sqrt {13} }}{{13}}\end{array}\)
