hint: x = cos(t) y = sin(t) (x,y) in this case is on the unit circle.

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

ok so do I take the cos of 20pi and sin of 3?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x = cos(20pi/3) = ?? y = sin(20pi/3) = ??

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

ok so cos=-1/2 and sin √3/2 that would make the answer A. (-1/2, √3/2)?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

thanks again :)
