sure thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok: find a coterminal angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees with the given number 11pi/3
OpenStudy (homeworksucks):
Try subtracting or adding by 2 pi, the amount of radians in a full revolution, leaving you exactly where you started, a coterminal angle.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would i need to transform 11pi/3 into a mixed number?

if i wanted to subtract 2pi from it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, give it a common denominator and add. because you want your answer to be in radians still
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 17pi/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you explain that again, the part with the common denominator?

Paste that in google u will get the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i would need a common denominator for 11pi/3 and 2pi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well, you have 11pi/3 and you want the coterminal angle on the unit circle. so you would add 2pi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a common denominator is needed to do so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you would do this

\[2\pi/1 = 6\pi/3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that way you can add 11pi/3 and 6pi/3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and 6pi/3 shares a common denominator with 11pi/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

that makes sense
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thanks for helping
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if i had to find a positive and negative coterminal angle for 5pi/4
