hi ohhnana! :smile:

do you mean find all possible values of θ in [0°,360°) for a particular value of cotθ ?

start by drawing the graph of cotθ :wink:

1. What is an angle in standard position?

An angle in standard position is an angle that has its vertex at the origin and one of its rays on the positive x-axis. It is typically measured in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis.

2. How do you measure an angle in standard position?

An angle in standard position is measured in degrees or radians. To measure an angle, you can use a protractor or a calculator.

3. What is the difference between a positive and a negative angle in standard position?

A positive angle in standard position is measured in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis, while a negative angle is measured in a clockwise direction from the positive x-axis.

4. How do you determine the reference angle of an angle in standard position?

The reference angle of an angle in standard position is the smallest acute angle formed between the terminal side of the angle and the x-axis. To determine the reference angle, you can use the reference angle calculator or follow a set of rules depending on the quadrant the angle is located in.

5. What is the range of values for an angle in standard position?

An angle in standard position can have a range of values from 0 degrees to 360 degrees or from 0 radians to 2π radians. This represents a full rotation around the origin in a counterclockwise direction.
