Find the value of tan θ for the angle shown.
wheres the angle?
^right there
notice the coordinates for the point, \(\large \begin{array}{llll} &x&y\\ &cosine&sine\\ (&\sqrt{33}\quad ,\quad &-4)\\ \quad \\ &&tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\implies \cfrac{y}{x} \end{array}\)
- sqrt(33)/4 Becuase that is a 4th quadrant angle where the tangent of that angle is negative. And tangent of theta is just y/x by definition.
sorry...-4/sqrt(33)
-4/√33
theres not option for that
tan θ = negative square root of thirty-three divided by four tan θ = negative four times square root of thirty-three divided by thirty-three tan θ = negative four-sevenths tan θ = negative square root of thirty-three divided by seven
because you'd have to simplify it
so simplify it by getting rid of the radical in the denominator
what is it ?
multiply top and bottom by the denominator
