can someone help me with trig
the highlighted part hw it say 2pi ,hw am i suppose to find the result
hw to get that 150 degrees in astc
Your answer is correct.
i know it is but i dunno hw in answer they got 150
Ok, got it. I'll explain.
thank u
Let me draw the unit circle.
|dw:1402342451805:dw|
Notice that for an angle of 30 degrees, the y-coordinate of the point of intersection of the terminal ray of the 30-degree angle and the unit circle has a y-coordinate of 0.5. This is how we know that the arcsin of 0.5 is 30 degrees. This is what gives the answer of 30 degrees for this problem. You follow so far?
yes
where did u get the 0.5 from?
You had in your equation gotten to: \(\sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{2} \) 1/2 is the same as 0.5
its 30 degrees in this question because of \[\sin \theta =\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} }\]
ohk
No in your problem it is simply \(\sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{2} \), and now we need theta. Because \(\sin 30^o = 0.5\), that means \( \theta = 30^o\)
yes
Ok, so we have theta is 30 deg. Now how do we get 150 deg?
yes
You are looking for all answers in the interval \(0 \lt \theta \lt 2 \pi\). That interval in degrees is: \(0 \lt \theta \lt 360^o\) Ok?
yes
Now let's look again at the unit circle.
