Q. Find the reference angle for a rotation of 9π8 \frac{9 \pi}{8} .\newlineAnswer:\newline
  1. Understand reference angle: Understand the concept of a reference angle. A reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of an angle in standard position and the x-axis. It is always between 00 and π/2\pi/2 radians (or 00 and 9090 degrees) and is positive.
  2. Determine angle quadrant: Determine the quadrant in which the angle (9π)/8(9\pi)/8 radians lies.\newlineSince (9π)/8(9\pi)/8 is greater than π\pi (which is equivalent to 4π/44\pi/4) and less than 3π/23\pi/2 (which is equivalent to 6π/46\pi/4), the angle lies in the third quadrant.
  3. Calculate equivalent angle: Calculate the equivalent angle in the first or fourth quadrant.\newlineTo find the reference angle for an angle in the third quadrant, subtract π\pi (4π/44\pi/4) from the given angle.\newlineReference angle = (9π)/8π=(9π)/8(8π)/8=π/8(9\pi)/8 - \pi = (9\pi)/8 - (8\pi)/8 = \pi/8
  4. Verify reference angle: Verify that the reference angle is in the correct range.\newlineThe reference angle π8\frac{\pi}{8} is between 00 and π2\frac{\pi}{2}, which is the correct range for a reference angle.
