Can someone please check my answers and give me feedback? I'm not completely sure about this. Thanks in advance! :) https://i.imgur.com/45PtWqo.png

any point on that unit circle (x,y) = (cos(t), sin(t))

OpenStudy (danjs):

since the hypotenuse is 1

OpenStudy (danjs):

Why did you make cos(t) negative?

OpenStudy (danjs):

you did all the work right, just use cos(t) as a positive value instead

OpenStudy (danjs):

the x coordinate of P is +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @DanJS! I corrected cos(t) to 15/17. Is that the only thing that I need to change?

hint: tangent = sine/cosine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, so would tan(t) be 8/15 then? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tangent is positive, yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

cos is positive ---> sec is positive tan is positive ---> cot is positive

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the reciprocal identities have the same sign together

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in a nutshell, everything is positive in Q1

OpenStudy (danjs):

+++!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I removed all the negatives and made them all positives, so I think I should be good. I think I may have misread something and thought one of the points was negative. Thanks for the help! :D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no problem
