Find the value of tan x is sin(x) + cos(x) = 1/5 and pi/2 < x < pi.

Sin x = 4/5          or     - 3/5

Cos x = -3/5        or     4/5                 

 

for quadrant II     sin is positive    so   4/5   

                          and cos is negative    so   -3/5

then tan = sin/cos =  4/5 / -3/5 =  - 4/3
