Q

Find angles between 0 and 360 degrees which are the same as -Π/2, 1180oand 9Π/4

A
  1. The first is negative so we add 2Π.
    1. -Π/2 + 2Π = 3Π/2
  2. 1180o = 11800 - 3600 = 8200 = 4600 = 100o
  3. 9Π/4 radians = 9 Π/4 - 2Π radians= Π/4 radians

Q

How do we find the CosΘ and sinΘ are for arbitrary Θ ?

A
  1. Determine the quadrant.
  2. Draw right triangle by drawing an altitude to the the x axis.
  3. Get the Cartesian co-ordinates (x,y).
  4. Points to the left of the y axis have a negative * x* and those below have a negative y.
  5. we then set sin Θ = x
  6. and cos Θ = y

Q

Find tan 7π/4

A
  1. Determine quadrant – since 7π/4 is greater than 3π/2 and less than 2π, the angle is in the fourth quadrant.
  2. Draw altitude.
  3. Determine the acute angle which is: π/4
  4. cos π/4 = sqrt(2)/2 as is sin π/4.
  5. Determine sign: since the angle is in the fourth quadrant and x is positive and y is negative, so cos 7π/4 is positive and sin 7π/4 is negative.
  6. tan 7π/4 = (sin 7π/4 )/ (cos 7π/4) = -1

find sin(105)
What is the exact value of sin(105º)? We can use a sum angle formula noticing that 105º = 45º + 60º. We have sin(105º) = sin(45º + 60º) = sin(45º )cos(60º) + cos(45º )sin(60º). We know the exact values of trig functions for 60º and 45º. Therefore, sin(45º )cos(60º) + cos(45º )sin(60º) ![](http://www.algebralab.org/img/c8008868-c54b-4100-9902-0d0df8dd45a4.gif) (sqrt(2) + sqrt(6))/4
