When Θ = 5 pi over 3, what are the reference angle and the sign values for sine, cosine, and tangent?
What is the reference angle? If you're not sure, then are you able to determine which quadrant this angle is in?
Θ'= pi over 3, cosine is positive, sine and tangent are negative Θ'= 5 pi over 3, sine and cosine are positive, tangent is negative Θ'= negative pi over 3, sine and cosine are positive, tangent is negative Θ' = negative 5 pi over 3, cosine is positive, sine and tangent are negative Those are the possible answers
ok ignore those for a moment
it's always good to know how to do a problem and not rely on the multiple choice answers
which quadrant is this angle in?
i think it is one of the 4: Θ'= pi over 3, Θ'= 5 pi over 3, Θ'= negative pi over 3, Θ' = negative 5 pi over 3, but it could be Θ = 5 pi over 3
well of course it has to be one of those four lol. You can only choose one those four answer choices
lol, i just wasnt sure what to do with 5 pi over 3
let's convert over to degrees
multiply 5pi/3 by 180/pi to convert to degrees
what do you get?
300
which quadrant is 300 degrees in?
4, which means cosine is the only on positive, so it would have to be the last choice. negative 5 pi over 3, cosine is positive, sine and tangent are negative
if the angle is 300 degrees, then what is the reference angle (in degrees)?
a drawing may help |dw:1411689655576:dw|
