Possible Values of Angle in Standard Position

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding all possible values of the angle θ in standard position where cot θ is equal to a specific value within the domain of 0° < θ < 360°. Participants emphasize the importance of graphing cot θ to identify the angles corresponding to the given cotangent value. There is a reminder about forum rules requiring users to show their attempts at solving the problem and to use the homework template for clarity. The conversation highlights the necessity of understanding the cotangent function and its periodic nature in determining the angles. Overall, the focus is on applying trigonometric principles to solve for θ effectively.

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:
