sine is negative in the third and fourth quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "if sin(x) = -4/5, then x = -53.13010235 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "that's in the fourth quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "the equivalent angle in the first quadrant would be 360 - 306.8698976 = 53.13010235 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "the equivalent angle in the third quadrant would be 180 + 53.13010235 = 233.13010235 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "that would be 180 + absolute value of (-53.130) degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "to see if is the next solution to the right, graph the equation of y = sin(x).
\n" ); document.write( "here's what it looks like.
\n" ); document.write( "-53 is in the fourth quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "going to the right, the next angle with sine of -4/5 is in the third quadrant of the next full 360 degree cycle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can see that the next angle to the right of -53.13... that has a sine of -4/5 is 233.13... degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i always get the equivalent angle in the first quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "that's called the reference angle.
\n" ); document.write( "from the first quadrant, it's easiest to go to any other quadrant you want.
\n" ); document.write( "second quadrant angle is 180 minus the reference angle.
\n" ); document.write( "third quadrant angle is 180 plus the reference angle.
\n" ); document.write( "fourth quadrant angle is 360 minus the reference angle.
\n" ); document.write( "those would all be positive angles.
\n" ); document.write( "equivalent negative angles would be those angles minus 360 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
