Hello. Do you need help?

2. anonymous

use a unit circle and 30 60 90 triangle to find value in degrees.. tan ^-1 sqrt 3

4. anonymous

can someone help

look on the unit circle to find where the second coordinate is $$-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$ and the first coordinate is $$\frac{1}{2}$$

8. anonymous

oops sorry, should be second coordinate is $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$ and first coordinate is $$\frac{1}{2}$$

9. anonymous

what does that look like?

10. anonymous

you will find it on the last page of the attached cheat sheet

11. anonymous

|dw:1369791474788:dw|if you have a unit circle like this

12. anonymous

unit blob? look at the cheat sheet i sent, on the last page you see the unit circle

13. anonymous

haah! thats mean!

14. anonymous

ok ... but where exaclty is it?

15. anonymous

look at the angle of $$\frac{\pi}{3}$$ and you will see that the second coordinate is $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$ and the first coordinate is $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and so $\tan(\frac{\pi}{3})=\sqrt3$

16. anonymous

i dont understand all of the symbols

17. anonymous

@satellite73 right here

18. anonymous

@satellite73 what do i do next

19. anonymous

that is all

20. anonymous

but it says to use 30 60 90 triangle

21. anonymous

oh you are working in degrees. not problem since $$\tan(60)=\sqrt3$$ you know $$\tan^{-1}(\sqrt3)=60$$

23. anonymous

tangent is opposite over adjacent is $$\sqrt3$$
