Trigonometry problem help please i worked out just need confirm

8. We know that tanq is undefined at 90°, 270°, and all angles coterminal with 90° and 270° . That is, for tanq , q ¹ ±90°, ± 270°,± 450°, . Assuming n takes on all integer values, the domain restriction for the tangent function can be written in set-builder notation either as {q q ¹ 90°+180°n, n any integer} or {q q ¹ (2n +1) ×90°, n any integer}. Use set-builder notation to express the domain restriction for cotq .

okay i know that cot theta is (x/y) and y cannot equal 0 so it cannot equal 0,180,360,540..... and this is plus or minus so i put 180n but everyone else put 180+180n

I would use 180n instead of 180+180n when n = 0, 180n = 0 when n =1, 180n = 180 when n = 2, 180n = 360 so you can see that we're kicking out all multiples of 180, which are the values that make cot(x) undefined

OpenStudy (ashley1nonly):

right because it has to go for both the positive and negative

numbers

but the question is does the 0 degree count
