Can someone help me with finding coterminal angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\pi/1 = 6\pi/3\]

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3pi/4 and 13pi/4
