cot11PI/3
Hi, My name is Stephen. How are you, emms? Could you elaborate on your question, please. Thank you.
its a homework question is says Find the value of cot 11 pi / 3 . ( answer to 3 demical places ) cot as in cos sin tan csc etc. can you help ?
First convert it into degrees, then find the angle it's equal to which is from 0 to 360 degrees.
ok, thanks
If you don't know the unit circle, that helps a lot
cot11PI/3 cot(11) = pi/3 <-- correct?
cot(11pi/3)?
yes
Convert to a standard form. You could do this by subtracting \(2\pi\) again and again.
thanks i got my answer
You treat pi as 180 degrees, so 11pi/3 = (11*180)/3
*Or do the standard form thing :P
Kinda stops at \(5\pi/3\). Which is \(2 \pi - \pi/3 \).
OS seems to have broken itself. :(
Anyway, this thing is equal to\[\dfrac{\cos(2\pi-\pi/3 )}{\sin(2\pi-\pi/3)}\]
\[\cos(2\pi - x) = \cos(x)\]\[\sin(2\pi - x) = -\sin(x)\]
So... that'd be enough.
All emms is asking is the cot(300 degrees), I would think?
Yes. Which is equal to \(\cot(360 - 60)\).
