| Question 956408:  I'm having a little trouble with Algebra 2. Here's the problem. Find the exact value of each trigonometric function.
 (A)   sin 270o =
 (B)   cot (3 pi /2) =
 I'm using a TI-83 Plus calculator, but I'm not sure how to input it. For (A) I came up with 'cot 4.71', but how do I calculate it?
 PS, (A) and (B) are not part of the equation, my question is just divided into two parts.
 Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the exact value of each trigonometric function. (A) sin 270 degrees = -1
 --------------------------------
 (B) cot (3 pi /2) = 0
 --------------------------------------

 -------------------------
 Since tan(3pi/2) = -oo, cot(3pi/2) = 1/tan(3pi/2) = 0
 Or Use 1/tan(4.71) = 0
 Make sure your "MODE" (3rd line) is set to RADIANS.
