Student Problem Unit R Concept 1 #1


  •  What is this problem about?
This problem is about determining how to find exact values using both sums and differences. In the first picture we took 150+60 to equal is 210 and with the unit circle we were able to find the exact values. Also if you were to subtract it, like in the second picture, we used 240-30 which is 210 and both ways will get you the same answer.

  • What does the viewer need to pay close attention to in order to do the problem correctly?
The viewer needs to pay attention that when we add the formula for sin is addition and cos is subtraction. When we take the difference though the signs change making sin be subtraction and cos addition. In addition the answers that are found can be proven by plugging it into the calculator if done correctly both answers should match.
