5a part I: you have the angle -pi/6 you can find an equivalent angle by adding 2pi to that then look at the Unit circle for the appropriate cos value
adding -pi/6 + 2pi gives us 11pi/6 so you just need to find the value of cos(11pi/6)
still there?
(-pi/6)+2pi=11pi/6= ((3pi)/2)/2 , -1/2
sorry i was doing something
good but they only want the cos value so sqrt(3)/2
for part II you simply need to observe the values between 0 and pi to see which angle gives you a cos value of sqrt(3)/2
|dw:1528767400375:dw|
|dw:1528767405239:dw|
there's only one possibility, pi/6
okay so for b
find the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem
c=5
good since arctan(4/3) is just another way to say theta, the expression becomes sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse so find sin(theta)
|dw:1528767686822:dw|
what is sin(theta) equal to?
|dw:1528767951711:dw| from the perspective of theta, 4 is the opposite side and 5 is the hypotenuse making sin(theta) = ?
opposite/hypotenuse = 4/5
c is pretty straightforward, first it asks you for the value of cos(pi/2) which can be found w/ a calculator or w/ the unit circle then it asks for a theta value between (-pi/2 and pi/2) where tan(theta) = 0
0
for part I
good, keep going
(0,1)
for part II what angle between -pi/2 and pi/2 does tan(theta) = 0
pi
pi is not between -pi/2 and pi/2
remember that tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta) so you should be looking for the theta between -pi/2 and pi/2 where sin(theta) = 0
(1,0)
we are looking for a theta value so what would the theta value for that point be?
pi/2
that's (0,1) not (1,0)
|dw:1528769892919:dw|
|dw:1528769898666:dw|
the angle theta would be 0 as well
