Trigonometric Functions in Quadrant Two

The video tutorial explains how to find trigonometric function values when sine theta equals two-fifths and theta is in the second quadrant. It begins by sketching a reference triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the x-value. The tutorial then calculates the sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocal functions. Finally, it demonstrates how to rationalize the denominators of the tangent and secant functions.
