5. Imagine you are looking for a certain angle whose cosine is positive and whose sine is negative. Part I: Name the two quadrants in which cosine is positive. (2 points) Part II: Name the quadrants in which sine is negative (2 points) Part III: Use the information in parts a and b to identify the quadrant in which cosine is positive and sine is negative. (2 points) Part IV: Write down one angle, in degrees, that has a negative sine and a positive cosine. (2 points) Part V: Using your calculator, confirm your choice by writing the cosine of your angle and the sine of your angle below. (4 points)

Vocaloid:

part I: any thoughts so far? as a hint we would want the quadrants where x is positive

zarkam21:

first and third

Vocaloid:

you're very close but not quite it would have to be the "right half" of unit circle

zarkam21:

first and second

Vocaloid:

zarkam21:

oh one and four

Vocaloid:

awesome what about II) where sin is negative?

Vocaloid:

*part II

zarkam21:

third

Vocaloid:

good but there's one more where sin is negative, as a hint the entire bottom half of the unit circle has negative sin

zarkam21:

third and fourth

Vocaloid:

awesome for part III) we want positive cos and negative sin, and according to our answers from before, the only quadrant that shares both these qualities is Q4 since its in both our lists so quadrant IV

Vocaloid:

Part IV: Write down one angle, in degrees, that has a negative sine and a positive cosine. (2 points) just need to write down an angle in quadrant IV, it has to be greater than 270 and less than 360 degrees, anything between that is fien

zarkam21:

300

Vocaloid:

good then for part V just plug your angle into a calculator and confirm that cos (theta) is positive and sin (theta) is negative

Vocaloid:

(just need to copy the calculator output)

zarkam21:

okay

zarkam21:

like this

Vocaloid:

oh, you need to calculate them separately not together so calculate cos(300) and then sin(300) separately, then just copy the outputs

zarkam21:

1/2 and -sqrt3/2

Vocaloid:

good, that's it for part V
