Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of trigonometry problems, specifically focusing on questions 1, 4, and 5. Participants are attempting to clarify their understanding of angles, rotations, and the relationships between degrees and radians.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the completeness of answers provided, particularly regarding the requirement for two angles in question 1. There is also confusion about the interpretation of problem 4, specifically the units and the nature of the question. Some participants are attempting to clarify their reasoning and calculations for the problems.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing feedback on each other's answers. Some have offered guidance on unit conversions and the need for additional information, while others are still seeking clarity on specific problems. There is no explicit consensus on the correctness of the answers yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working with a mix of degrees and radians, and there appears to be some confusion regarding the setup of the problems and the information provided. The original poster has shared images of the questions, but the clarity of those images is not confirmed in the discussion.

For number 5, be sure you use the right units. You have 8.3 hrs.
Wouldn't it be 8.3 rotations/hr?
 
? The first question is "Find the measures of two angles, one positive an one negative, that are coterminous with the given angle" and you answer "75 degrees".

We can't possibly tell you whether that is right or wrong because you don't show the diagram or the "given angle"! I can tell you that your answer is not COMPLETE because it asks for TWO angles and you give only one!

For problem 2 you seem to have the "near side" and "opposite side" reversed.

Problem 3 you have correct.

It's not clear to me what your answer to problem 4 is. How did you get that point?

For problem 4 the question is "how many rotations does a pulley make in 1 hour and your answer is "8.3 hr"! That can't possibly be right!

for question number 1) The given angle is 75 degrees. how do i go about this question?? sorry

for question 4) I am still not sure what the question is asking.

after a long night, i got the answer

problem 1) is 3600- 750 = 4350
-3600+750 = -2850

problem 4) the 58 is in radians. so 6.28x9=56.52 then 58-56.52= 1.40
which is 1.40 off 1.57. remember to change the degrees to radians that how i got the answer

i want to thank you guy for the help i really applicative it cheers

This is the most interesting way to subtract I have ever seen.
