what are the coordinates of the terminal point determined by t= 10pi/3

minustempo:

So you are finding the point on the unit circle. First, we see that 10pi/3 is more than 2pi, which is the 360 degree angle around a circle. So we can subtract off 2pi to get 4pi/3.

minustempo:

So it is the same as finding the terminal point for 4pi/3.

minustempo:

I like to convert to degrees because it's easier for me. 4pi/3 * 180/pi degrees = 240 degrees. So it's 180 degrees + 60 more. We know both x and y are negative

minustempo:

Therefore I think the terminal point is (-1/2, -sqrt3/2)
