An exact ratio and a rationalised expression

8 written marks

The angle \(\theta\) satisfies \(\displaystyle \tan\theta=-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}\) and \(\displaystyle \frac\pi2\lt \theta\lt \pi\).

Part a · 3 marks

Find \(\sin\theta\) and \(\cos\theta\) exactly.

Part b · 2 marks

Hence evaluate \(\displaystyle \frac{1+\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\) exactly.

Part c · 3 marks

Let \(\phi=2\pi-\theta\). State the quadrant of \(\phi\), then express \(\cos^{-1}(\cos\phi)\) and \(\sin^{-1}(\sin\theta)\) in terms of \(\theta\).
