Vocaloid:

there are technically multiple answers for this but taking a look at the unit circle, what is theta when cos(theta) = 1?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1520394524773:dw|

zarkam21:

0?

Vocaloid:

awesome, so degrees theta = 0, and coincidentally radians theta is also 0 then just find sin, tan, etc. for theta = 0

zarkam21:

all 0

zarkam21:

well sin is 0

zarkam21:

tan is 0 as well

Vocaloid:

good what about csc, sec, and cot?

zarkam21:

csc=undefined sec=1 cot=undefined

Vocaloid:

awesome that's it

zarkam21:

4.71

Vocaloid:

so where on the UC do you think tan would be sqrt(3)?

zarkam21:

for radians

Vocaloid:

hm? since degrees are 0 radians are 0 as well

zarkam21:

wait aren't we on the second chart

zarkam21:

oh shoot i was doing the third chart sorry

zarkam21:

okay so degree and radians are 0

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

theta would be 270?

Vocaloid:

for chart 2? I don't think so, tan(270) is not sqrt(3)

Vocaloid:

as a hint - since tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta) so select the point on the UC where sin/cos = sqrt(3), you might have to do some mental math

zarkam21:

um 5

Vocaloid:

it's not immediately obvious, but if we see this point:|dw:1520395252556:dw|

Vocaloid:

if we divide sin/cos we get sqrt(3)/2 divided by 1/2 which ends up being sqrt(3) so your angle is 60 degrees, convert that to radians then perform the rest of the calculations

zarkam21:

1.05

zarkam21:

1.04719755

Vocaloid:

actually that's right but let's leave in terms of pi, pi/3

Vocaloid:

so the radians would be pi/3 (as a general rule, we don't want to round until it tells us too, b/c we'll lose significant digits)

Vocaloid:

then calculate sin, cos, etc. for pi/3 or 60 degrees

zarkam21:

okay so sin(pi/3) cos(pi/3)

Vocaloid:

good, what would those equal?

zarkam21:

sin(pi/3)=sqrt3/2 cos(pi/3)=1/2 csc(pi/3)=2sqrt3/2 sec(pi/3)=2 cot(pi/3)=sqrt3/3

Vocaloid:

check csc again it doesn't look quite right

zarkam21:

2sqrt3/3

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

I'm ready for chart 3 if you have it

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

same process as before, simply convert 270 deg to radians, then fill out the rest of the table

zarkam21:

4.71

zarkam21:

for radians

Vocaloid:

good but let's try to leave it in terms of pi, that's a good general rule for radians 3pi/2

zarkam21:

sin(3pi/2)=-1 cos(3pi/2)=0 csc(3pi/2)=-1 sec(3pi/2)=undefined cot(3pi/2)=0

Vocaloid:

perfect

Vocaloid:

same thing w/ chart 4 just using 30 deg as the angle, convert to radians first, etc.

zarkam21:

0.52359878

zarkam21:

What would that be in terms of pi :/

Vocaloid:

when you multiply 30 degrees * (pi/180) without rounding pi, what do you get?

zarkam21:

pi/6

zarkam21:

right

Vocaloid:

yeah good, then just fill out the rest of the table

zarkam21:

sin(pi/6)=1/2 cos(pi/6)=sqrt2/3 tan(pi/6)=sqrt3/3 csc(pi/6)=2 sec(pi/6)=2sqrt3/3 cot(pi/6)=sqrt3

Vocaloid:

check cos again

zarkam21:

sqrt3/2

Vocaloid:

good, the rest are perfect

Vocaloid:

ok, so for #5 - if the angle is theta, convert this to degrees, then fill out the rest of the table

zarkam21:

180

Vocaloid:

good, then proceed w/ the calculations as usual

zarkam21:

it would just be sin(pi) righr

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

sin(pi)=0 cos(pi)=-1 tan(pi)=0 csc(pi)=undefined sec(pi)=-1 cot(pi)=undefined

Vocaloid:

perfect

Vocaloid:

for #6 take a look at the Unit Circle and see which angle corresponds to sin(theta) = root(2)/2

zarkam21:

3/2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1520398222139:dw|

Vocaloid:

so the angle is 45 degrees, proceed w/ the conversion/calculation as usual

zarkam21:

0.78539816

Vocaloid:

remember, if we want to get the radians in terms of pi, you'll have to manually convert it by multiplying (45 deg) by (pi/180) and leaving pi unrounded

zarkam21:

pi/4 sin(pi/4)=sqrt2/2 cos(pi/4)=sqrt2/2 tan(pi/4)=1 csc(pi/4)=sqrt2 sec(pi/4)=sqrt2 cot(pi/4)=1

Vocaloid:

awesome

Vocaloid:

is there anything after chart 6

zarkam21:

one more chart if you are up to it?

zarkam21:

if not we can continue tomorrow

Vocaloid:

yeah sure let's do it

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

ok, take another look at the UC, what angle does sin(theta) = 1?

zarkam21:

um

Vocaloid:

remember, your x and y coordinates are cos(theta), sin(theta)

zarkam21:

(1,0)

Vocaloid:

sin(theta) would be the y-coordinate what ~angle~ would the y-coordinate be 1?

zarkam21:

1

Vocaloid:

|dw:1520399078686:dw|

Vocaloid:

what angle corresponds to this point?

zarkam21:

oh sqrt2/2

Vocaloid:

|dw:1520399123081:dw|

Vocaloid:

check again, what angle corresponds to this point? you must look at the angle measurements as well as the coordinate point

zarkam21:

1 attachment
zarkam21:

90

Vocaloid:

good, the angle is 90 degrees not root(2)/2

zarkam21:

1.57079633

zarkam21:

for radian qhich would be 1.57*(pi/180)

Vocaloid:

start with the degree measurement

Vocaloid:

90 * pi/180 = ?

Vocaloid:

[leave pi in its unrounded form]

zarkam21:

pi/2

Vocaloid:

good, then fill out the rest of the table

zarkam21:

cos(pi/2)=0 tan(pi/2)=undefined csc(pi/2)=1 sec(pi/2)=undefined cot(pi/2)=0

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

Thank you, you can finally go to bed lol
