Example Question #11 : Trigonometry
Calculate .
The tangent function has a period of units. That is,
for all .
Since , we can rewrite the original expression as follows:
Hence,
Example Question #2 : Sin, Cos, Tan
Calculate .
First, convert the given angle measure from radians to degrees:
Next, recall that lies in the fourth quadrant of the unit circle, wherein the cosine is positive. Furthermore, the reference angle of is
Hence, all that is required is to recognize from these observations that
,
which is .
