Using a calculator, find the value of cot (-414 degrees) to four decimal places.
\n" ); document.write( "a.-0.7265
\n" ); document.write( "b.-9.5143
\n" ); document.write( "c.-1.3764
\n" ); document.write( "d.-2.2460
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the fact that \"cot%28alpha%29=+1%2Ftan%28alpha%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "First find \"tan%28-414%29\", then find its reciprocal.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You can find this easily\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"tan%28-414%29+=+-1.37638192\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you can either use the reciprocal key, or else \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"1%2F%28-1.37638192%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "to get \"-.726542528\" which rounds off to choice a.\r\n" );
