When Θ = 5 pi over 3, what are the reference angle and the sign values for sine, cosine, and tangent?
@ThereisnoUsername
multiply 5pi/3 by 180/pi to convert to degrees, what do you get
300?
yes! okay so what quadrant would 300 degrees be in?
4th?
yepp, okay if the angle is 300 degrees , what would the reference angle be in degrees?
60?
@ThereisnoUsername 180/pi = ? bc. hope you know that the value of pi=180 bc. you know that pi/2 = 90 degree so in this way why is importantly dividing 180/pi ?
yes!! haha okay so now you can convert that over when you multiply by pi/180, so you can plug theta = 5pi/3 into 2pi - theta and what do you get In terms of pi?
180/pi or pi/180 are equal 1
im confused @ThereisnoUsername
@jhonyy9 Pi doesn't equal any number of degrees because pi without a unit is just a number. The point is that pi radians is equal to 180 degrees
okay, let me help you |dw:1464968628053:dw|
it wont let me draw it so ill just explain,
wait i think i got it would it be 1.047?
ok wait your explication --- ty.
yes so pi over 3, cosine is positive, sine and tangent are negative would be the answer because everything is pi/3
awesomeeee thank you, i have a couple more questions im going to open a new one and tag you
okay :)
