can somebody please help me? i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do here complete the table of given values. y=-cot θ

i think the upper column is for different value of theta and the lower one is for the corresponding values so you can fill up all the standard angles like 0, pi/4, pi/2, pi/3,.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much! so in the upper one i should just fill in those values? what other ones should i include? and is it different for the lower one? sorry i'm really confused on this

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

look you can fill in the upper column values of theta like 0, pi/4, pi/2 and just under this column fill their value infinity , 1, 0 etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what other values should i use other than pi/4 and pi/2 because it already has 0 how can i find the values?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

The format of the table is a little bit weird, but I think that it might reasonably be interpreted that you are to fill in 16 different values of theta and the corresponding values of -cot theta. There's a unit circle diagram in the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_constants that might be helpful in deciding which values to use for theta (and computing the value of -cot theta).

i've figured it out, thank you so much @whpalmer4
