Question 1easy
What is sin(6π)?
On the unit circle, sin(6π)=21.
Question 2easy
What is tan(3π)?
On the unit circle, tan(3π)=cos(3π)sin(3π)=1/23/2=3.
Question 3easy
What is cos(65π)?
The reference angle for 65π is 6π. Cosine is negative in Quadrant II, so cos(65π)=−cos(6π)=−23.
Question 4easy
What is tan(43π)?
The reference angle for 43π is 4π. Tangent is negative in Quadrant II, so tan(43π)=−tan(4π)=−1.
Question 5easy
What is sin(65π)?
The angle 65π is in Quadrant II with reference angle 6π. Sine is positive there, so sin(65π)=sin(6π)=21.
Question 6easy
What is cos(3π)?
On the unit circle, cos(3π)=21.
Question 7easy
What is sin(23π)?
At 23π the terminal side points to (0,−1) on the unit circle, so sin(23π)=−1.
Question 8easy
What is tan(47π)?
The reference angle for 47π is 4π. Tangent is negative in Quadrant IV, so tan(47π)=−tan(4π)=−1.
