assume sin t =.45 and sin w =.89 both t and w are postive and both t and w determne a terminal point in a quadrant 1. which of the following statements best describe the relatiionship between t and w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a multiple choice question with 3 choices: A) t > w B) t < w C) More information is required.

Since sin theta increases from zero to one in the first quadrant, it would seem t is less than w.

Okay. Are you able to explain further? I'm still a tad bit confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the first quadrant (between x=0 and x=pi/2) the function sin x is increasing. That means that if the sin is bigger, the angle must be bigger. In other quadrants it will work differently, but in the first quadrant, if the sin is bigger, the angle is as well.

Hm. . . All right. Seems quite reasonable now. Thanks for your time. =)

No sweat. Do math every day.
