z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first of all, you want to fine the reference angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see 11 is larger than 6 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you do this : 11/6 - 6/6 = -5/6 pi (sorry I didn't write the negative and pi in the equation)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/6 pi is equal to 150

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -11/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but since it's negative,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's gonna be 210

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuz it's gonna go clockwise do you get this part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get -5/6 and why did you subtract one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and wehre is the 210 and 150 come from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simpler way

hero (hero):

@musiklover317 I have another question for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look. you know that you want to fine the reference angle to solve for sin csc cot etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero dude. I don't have time to deal with you. Don't bother me. I have my own hw to do but it's delay because of you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just deal with it by yourself.

hero (hero):

Answer that last question and then I'll be finished with you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha. look. I don't want to waste my time, so why don't you argue with another person.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jhalt sorry about that. so 180 degrees = pi

hero (hero):

Suppose the angle is 216 degrees and the area of a sector is 15pi. What's the radius of the circle?

hero (hero):

There bro. I even posted it here for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh I am confused. Where did you get the 216 egrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in order to find the the reference angle, you have to subtract the angle given (larger than 180) to 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6pi/6 is pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

hero (hero):

That was @musiklover317 math question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to subtract 11pi/6 by 6pi/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you'll get -5pi/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5pi/6 is 150 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thast what I am confused about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh do you have the unit circle with you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you know that 5pi/6 is 150

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5pi/6 is in radian form and 150 is in degree form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I understand. I see 150 on the circlue. BUt I apologize but why did you subtract 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the angle was larger than 180 (or pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but why thought?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh your trying to make it less?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not just say -30 degrees instead?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 11pi/6 - pi/6 is not gonna work, you see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that's the next step though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

150's reference angle is 30 which is pi/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it's (rad(3)/2,1/2) [(cos,sin)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you know how to find the rest of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey I really have to go now good luck!

hero (hero):

Talk about taking some obscure long way of solving

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you ehlp me hero?

hero (hero):

I'll post the solution for the first one. You're on your own with the rest

hero (hero):

\[\theta = -\frac{11 \pi}{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin is y/r and cos is x/r

hero (hero):

Okay, so you have all the formulas in front of you so you don't need that

hero (hero):

Anyway, you need to find \(\sec \theta\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

hero (hero):

\[\sec(\theta) = \frac{r}{x}\]

hero (hero):

Now insert theta: \[\sec\left(-\frac{11 \pi}{6}\right) = \frac{r}{x}\]

hero (hero):

substitute \(\pi = 180\)

hero (hero):

\[\sec\left(-\frac{11(180)}{6}\right) = \frac{r}{x}\] \[\sec\left(-11(30)\right) = \frac{r}{x}\] \[\sec\left(-330 \right) = \frac{r}{x}\]

hero (hero):

\[\sec\left(-330 \right) = \frac{r}{x}\] \[\sec(\theta)= \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}\]

hero (hero):

So: \[\sec(-330)= \frac{1}{\cos(-330)} \]

hero (hero):

But -330 degrees is just 30 degrees on the circle, so: \[\sec(-330)= \frac{1}{\cos(30)}\]

hero (hero):

Solve the rest

hero (hero):

You should be familiar with the unit circle
