Answer 4

for my homework, the example problem is cos(t)=1, and the answer is 2(pi)n

Answer 5

were you taught to derive your trig values using the unit circle?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

so using the link u sent me would the answer be 3(pi)/2n?

Answer 8

then you are looking for the angle that gives you -1.
Look in the sine column

Answer 9

don't put the n

Answer 10

ok thank you!!!

Answer 11

it is just (3pi)/2

Answer 12

did they tell you to just use 0 degrees to 360 degrees? Just the unit circle
