Q. Question\newlineIf the terminal side of angle t t goes through the point (513,1213) \left(-\frac{5}{13},-\frac{12}{13}\right) on the unit circle, then what is cos(t) \cos (t) ?
  1. Determine Coordinate: Determine the coordinate on the unit circle for angle tt. The coordinates on the unit circle are (cos(t),sin(t))(\cos(t), \sin(t)).
  2. Compare Coordinates: Compare (cos(t),sin(t))(\cos(t), \sin(t)) with (513,1213)(-\frac{5}{13}, -\frac{12}{13}) to find cos(t)\cos(t). The x-coordinate of the given point represents cos(t)\cos(t). Therefore, cos(t)=513\cos(t) = -\frac{5}{13}.
