I ask my calculator about arctan(-0.4663) in degrees.

It gives me the value of -25°.


It is the angle in QIV, equivalent to -25+360 = 360-25 = 335 degrees.


Another angle with this value of tan is in QII;  it is  -25° + 180° = 155°.


So, the two angles for this part of the problem are  155° in QII and  335° in QIV.

So, the first part is solved and completed.

Can you make the second part in a similar way ?

You may report me about your progress and/or your final answer.

Comment from student : for the cos θ= -0.3420 , the angles are 110 and 250, is that correct?

My response : It is correct.

Good job ! My congratulations !
