Question 802602
Given that theta = 17pi/6, find the exact values of the sin, cos and tan of theta.
***
What you need to know is the reference angle of given angle theta=17&#960;/6, and which quadrant it is in.
17&#960;/6 is like rotating counter-clockwise around the unit circle 16&#960; plus an additional &#960;/6, which places the reference angle of &#960;/6 in quadrant I.
sin(17&#960;/6)=sin(&#960;/6)=1/2
cos(17&#960;/6)=cos(&#960;/6)=&#8730;3/2
tan(17&#960;/6)=tan(&#960;/6)=sin/cos=1/&#8730;3=&#8730;3/3
