(3,-2) find sin θ

(3,-2) find sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's a theta at the end

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hint: \(\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies \theta=tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{y}{x}\right) \\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{cccllll} (3&,&-2)\\ x&&y \end{array}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm ohh ahemm shoot the sine =) ok

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, that'd be one way, you get the angle then just take the sine of the angle found

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

recall your SOH CAH TOA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you graph it

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

just plot the point |dw:1422231276528:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1422231831755:dw|

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

wow... the hypotenuse is \[h^2 = 3^2 + (-2)^2\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you need to check your calculation carefully

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm \(\bf c^2=x^2+y^2\implies c=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\implies c=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(3)^2} \\ \quad \\ c=\sqrt{\square ?}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

anyhow, and bear in mind that \(\bf {\color{brown}{ sin}}(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\cfrac{y}{r}\)
