OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I believe that \[\Theta=\frac{ \pi }{ 4 } and \tan \theta=-1\]

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

use the identity \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{\tan (\pi+x) =\tan x\hspace{.33em}\\~\\}\end{align}\)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Question what would x be ? something to solve for?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Also I found the reference angle by doing \[\frac{ 19\pi }{ 4 }-4\pi= \frac{ 3\pi }{ 4 }-\pi=-\frac{ \pi }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

and then by finding the other part by doing \[\tan (\frac{ 19\pi }{ 4 })\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

which i got -1 by doing that

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{ =\tan (\dfrac{19\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =\tan (\dfrac{16\pi+3\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =\tan (\dfrac{3\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =\tan (\dfrac{4\pi-\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =\tan (\dfrac{-\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =-\tan (\dfrac{\pi}{4}) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =-1 }\end{align}\) so \(\Huge -1\) is \(\Huge \checkmark\)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

What about the \[-\frac{ \pi }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Did I do that correctly :p

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

its important to write in the form as i did

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes ur work seems correct !

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Thank you for checking and about the the form do you mean

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

like tan(19pi/4+pi) I am confused

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

write it in the \(\huge tan (\fbox{-})\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

inside the box

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Ahh ok
