Here is the problem: Find sin, cos and tan of 7pi/6 on the unit circle.

2
00:00:06.348 --> 00:00:11.782
Unit circle values for 210° (7pi/6 rad).

3
00:00:12.582 --> 00:00:17.122
Convert radians to degrees (multiply by 180/pi).

4
00:00:17.572 --> 00:00:26.465
Locate the terminal side: in Quadrant III. In Quadrant III sine and cosine are both negative (“All Students Take Calculus”).

5
00:00:26.915 --> 00:00:29.934
Reference angle (acute angle to the x-axis).

6
00:00:30.384 --> 00:00:35.249
Read the exact coordinates from the reference angle and apply the quadrant signs.

7
00:00:36.049 --> 00:00:39.230
Tangent equals sine divided by cosine.

8
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:41.143
Reciprocal functions.

9
00:00:41.943 --> 00:00:52.996
So the answer is (cos theta, sin theta) equals (negative the square root of 3 over 2, negative 1 over 2); tan theta equals the square root of 3 over 3.

10
00:00:53.446 --> 00:01:21.472
210° (7pi/6 rad) ends in Quadrant III with a reference angle of 30°. sin theta equals negative 1 over 2, cos theta equals negative the square root of 3 over 2, tan theta equals the square root of 3 over 3, csc theta equals negative 2, sec theta equals negative 2the square root of 3 over 3, cot theta equals the square root of 3.

11
00:01:22.272 --> 00:01:26.196
cos squaredtheta plus sin squaredtheta equals 1 (must equal 1).
