Choose the point on the terminal side of -210°.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so lost, can someone please help me

OpenStudy (freckles):

I guess we are to assume r is 1

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[x=r \cos(\theta) \\ y=r \sin(\theta)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1cos 1sin

OpenStudy (freckles):

or maybe r is suppose to be 2

OpenStudy (freckles):

I don't know r is not given

OpenStudy (freckles):

but the answers seems to suggest r=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which answer do you suggest i put?

OpenStudy (freckles):

enter in the r and enter the theta then you can find x and y

OpenStudy (freckles):

it is weird though they don't tell you what r is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh this is so confusing

OpenStudy (freckles):

I gave you the equations

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[x =r \cos(\theta) \\ y=r \sin(\theta) \\ r=2 \\ \theta=-210^o \\ \text{ you want \to find } (x,y)\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

just replace r with 2 and replace theta with -210

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so: x=2cos(-210) y=2sin(-210)

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that^

OpenStudy (freckles):

you can use unit circle to get exact answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
