Help with reference angles
so i know \[\tan \theta=-\sqrt3\]
and to find \[\theta'\]
\[\frac{ -10\pi }{ 3 }+4\pi\]
\(-\sqrt{3}\) is the final answer, you're done!
But I have to find \[\theta'\]
question doesn't ask you to find the reference angle
it only says to use the reference angle to evaluate tan(-10pi/3)
Im confused about this part cause you would get \[\frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 }\]
welp I have than that to select from though
yes subtract that from \(\pi \)
reference angle = \(\large \pi - \frac{2\pi}{3} = ?\)
so positive pi/3
Yep!
Could you assist me with one more
This one is just a true or false one, but
ok
A reference angle exists for the following angle: θ = -810°.-810+3(360)=270
But im confused would you subtract this by 180 because reference angles need to be between 0 and 90
yes i think 90 degrees is the reference angle for 270
so this would be true then
im not sure, some google results say 90 is reference angle and some say 90 cannot be a reference angle
@freckles
it is \(90\)
Yes but I believe we are unsure if 90 is a reference angle

Ahh Isee

looks neat
if angle is on axis then the previous quadrant is considered i think
in this case the \(3rd\) quadrant
if you do either 360-270 or 270-180 you should get 90 deg for either one
