Q. QuestionIf the terminal side of angle t goes through the point (−135,−1312) on the unit circle, then what is cos(t) ?
Determine Coordinate: Determine the coordinate on the unit circle for angle t. The coordinates on the unit circle are (cos(t),sin(t)).
Compare Coordinates: Compare (cos(t),sin(t)) with (−135,−1312) to find cos(t). The x-coordinate of the given point represents cos(t). Therefore, cos(t)=−135.
