Question

19. Use the unit circle to find the value of tan 315º. Show work pls.

Answer 1

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change tan(315) to:

$\frac{\sin(315)}{\cos(315)}$

Then evaluate the sine and cosine function. What is the y component of 315 degrees? What is the x component of 315 degrees?

$-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} /\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =-1$
