$\cos (x) = \frac{3}{5}$ ,

$\cot (x) = \frac{3}{4}$

Step 1

To find the value of

$\tan (x)$ , use the fact that

$\frac{1}{\cot (x)}$ then substitute in the known values.

$\tan (x) = \frac{1}{\cot (x)} = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{4}}$

Step 2.1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\tan (x) = \frac{1}{\cot (x)} = 1 (\frac{4}{3})$

Step 2.2

Multiply

$\frac{4}{3}$ by

$1$ .

$\tan (x) = \frac{1}{\cot (x)} = \frac{4}{3}$

Step 3

To find the value of

$\sin (x)$ , use the fact that

$\tan (x) = \frac{\sin (x)}{\cos (x)}$ so

$\sin (x) = \tan (x) \cdot \cos (x)$ then substitute in the known values.

$\sin (x) = \tan (x) \cdot \cos (x) = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{5}$

Step 4.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\sin (x) = \tan (x) \cdot \cos (x) = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{5}$

Step 4.1.2

Rewrite the expression.

$\sin (x) = \tan (x) \cdot \cos (x) = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Step 4.2

Combine

$4$ and

$\frac{1}{5}$ .

$\sin (x) = \tan (x) \cdot \cos (x) = \frac{4}{5}$

Step 5

To find the value of

$\sec (x)$ , use the fact that

$\frac{1}{\cos (x)}$ then substitute in the known values.

$\sec (x) = \frac{1}{\cos (x)} = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{5}}$

$\sec (x) = \frac{1}{\cos (x)} = 1 (\frac{5}{3})$

Step 6.2

Multiply

$\frac{5}{3}$ by

$1$ .

$\sec (x) = \frac{1}{\cos (x)} = \frac{5}{3}$

Step 7

To find the value of

$\csc (x)$ , use the fact that

$\frac{1}{\sin (x)}$ then substitute in the known values.

$\csc (x) = \frac{1}{\sin (x)} = \frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}$
