Question

Cho góc nhọn α, biết cos α = \(\dfrac{1}{5}\). Tính sin α, tan α, cot α.

Answer 1

\(sin\alpha^2+cos\alpha^2=1\Rightarrow sin\alpha^2=1-cos\alpha^2=1-\dfrac{1}{25}=\dfrac{24}{25}\Rightarrow sin\alpha=\dfrac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}\)

\(\Rightarrow cot\alpha=\dfrac{cos\alpha}{sin\alpha}=\dfrac{1}{5}:\dfrac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{6}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{24}\)

Answer 2

\(\sin^2\alpha+\cos^2\alpha=1\)

\(\Leftrightarrow\sin^2\alpha=1-\dfrac{1}{25}=\dfrac{24}{25}\)

hay \(\sin\alpha=\dfrac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}\)

\(\tan\alpha=\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}=\dfrac{2\sqrt{6}}{5}:\dfrac{1}{5}=2\sqrt{6}\)

\(\cot\alpha=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{6}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{12}\)
