And to find theta, notice how a right triangle is created if we draw the base(the x value) and the height(y value). We also just found our r( hypotenuse) so ignore that. We know the opposite side and the adjacent side originally. so we can use the tangent function.

$\tan(x) = \frac{y}{x}$

Remeber since we are trying to find the angle measure, use inverse tan function

$\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{y}{x} ) =$

Answers For 2,5

${2}^{2} + {5}^{2} = \sqrt{29} = 5.4$

So r=sqr root of 29

$\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{5}{2} ) = 68$

So the answer is (sqr root of 29,68).

For -3,3

${ -3 }^{2} + {3}^{2} = \sqrt{18} = 3 \sqrt{2}$

$\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{3}{ - 3} ) = - 45$

Use the identity

$\tan(x) = \tan(x + \pi)$

So that means

$\tan(x) = 135$

So our points are

(3 times sqr root of 2, 135)

For 5,-3.5

${5}^{2} + {3.5}^{2} = \sqrt{37.25}$

$\tan {}^{ - 1} ( \frac{ - 3.5}{ - 5} ) = 35$

So our points are (sqr root of 37.25, 35)

For (0,-5.4)

${0}^{2} + { - 5.4}^{2} = \sqrt{} 29.16 = 5.4$

So r=5.4

$\tan {}^{ - 1} (0) = undefined$

So our points are (5.4, undefined)

Determine an approximate value for y if the coordinate (-0.5387 ,y) is on the unit circle

adoni [48]

Answer:

y = 0.8425 or y = -0.8425

Step-by-step explanation:

All points in the Cartesian coordinate system have an x and y coordinate, defined by two perpendicular measurements.

If the point is on the unit circle, then the radius of the circle is defined to be 1 unit, and the corresponding right triangle follows the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
