An angle ϕ\phi satisfies sec⁡ϕ=1312\sec\phi=\dfrac{13}{12} and −π2<ϕ<0-\dfrac{\pi}{2}<\phi<0. a. (i) Determine cos⁡ϕ\cos\phi and sin⁡ϕ\sin\phi with their proper signs. b. (ii) Hence find tan⁡ϕ\tan\phi, csc⁡ϕ\csc\phi, and cot⁡ϕ\cot\phi. c. (iii) Using the above results, evaluate sin⁡(2ϕ)\sin(2\phi) and cos⁡(2ϕ)\cos(2\phi). Express each answer as a rational number or a rational multiple of a square root, wherever possible.
