Answer: Absolute value

Step-by-step explanation: Absolute value means <em>distance from zero</em> on a number line. We represent the absolute value of a number by using a vertical bar on either side of the number. Absolute value will always be positive except for 1 special case which I provided in the image attached.

The point (1,-1) is on the terminal side of angle theta in standard position what are the values of sine cuisine and tangent of

pickupchik [31]

$\bf \textit{terminal point }\implies 
\begin{array}{lclcll}
(&1&,&-1)\\
&\uparrow &&\uparrow \\
&x&&y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{y}{r}
\qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{r}
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{y}{x}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{so, what's the radius "r"?}\implies r^2=x^2+y^2\implies r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$
