Find the six trigonometric functions of an angle in standard position whose terminal side passes through the point (5, -sqrt3)
@ganeshie8
|dw:1423255331512:dw|
|dw:1423255393910:dw|
hence \(tan \theta =\dfrac{-\sqrt 3}{5}\), find \(\theta\)
I'm confused
put it in calculator, you have the angle is -19.1 degree, let take -19,
what are we finding here?
finding the angle.
after having the angle, you can find the trigs like sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc, right?
Ok, I guide you more
|dw:1423255810491:dw| and we know that it is in the 4 quadrant, right?
i know that 11pi/6 is 330 degree
if you want to take the positive angle, it 's perfectly ok, but how can you get that angle? I mean 330 degree??
nvm. continue with what you were saying. I'm going to confuse myself more.
I need find the angle between x-axis with the terminal line, that is|dw:1423256226683:dw|
