Use the fact that there are 2 radians in each circle to find another angle, smaller than 2 pi, that is equivalent to 17 pi/6. B. Find the sine of the angle you found in part i. This is also 17 pi/6.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

keep subtracting \(2\pi\) until you get a number between \(0\) and \(2\pi\).

OpenStudy (elusive):

I don't even understand the question. Why do I subtract 2 pi?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok, you know the angle 0 is pretty much the same angle as 2pi?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

pi is the same angle as 3 pi? make sense?

OpenStudy (elusive):

On the unit circle? Yes

OpenStudy (elusive):

Because it goes around and comes back to its origin?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

exactly

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so given any angle we can always add and subtract until we get between 0 and 2pi?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (elusive):

0 degrees and 2 pi radians?
