Question

If p(x,y) is the point on the unit circle defined by real number theta, then cot theta= _____ A. 1/y B. 1/x C. x/y D. y/x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

As per SOH CAH TOA,

tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

so, cot θ = $\frac{adjacent}{opposite}$

cot θ = $\frac{x}{y}$

hence the answer is C: $\frac{x}{y}$  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer 2

C. x/y
