1. Problem: Given point $P(-2,2)$ lies on the terminal arm of angle $\theta$ in standard position, determine which statement about $\tan\theta$, $\sin\theta$, $\cos\theta$, and $\csc\theta$ is correct.
2. Formula and rules:
- $\tan\theta = \frac{y}{x}$
- $\sin\theta = \frac{y}{r}$
- $\cos\theta = \frac{x}{r}$
- $\csc\theta = \frac{r}{y}$
where $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ is the distance from the origin to point $P$.
3. Calculate $r$:
$$r = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}$$
4. Calculate each ratio:
- $\tan\theta = \frac{2}{-2} = -1$
- $\sin\theta = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ after rationalizing denominator
- $\cos\theta = \frac{-2}{2\sqrt{2}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ after rationalizing denominator
- $\csc\theta = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2}$
5. Check each option:
- a) $\tan\theta = 1$ is false because $\tan\theta = -1$
- b) $\sin\theta = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{8}} = -\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ is false because $\sin\theta$ is positive
- c) $\cos\theta = -2$ is false because $\cos\theta = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
- d) $\csc\theta = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2}$ is true
Answer: d) $\csc\theta = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{2}$
