5.3 Section Exercises

1.

Yes, when the reference angle is π 4 π 4 and the terminal side of the angle is in quadrants I and III. Thus, at x= π 4 , 5π 4 , x= π 4 , 5π 4 , the sine and cosine values are equal.

3.

Substitute the sine of the angle in for y y in the Pythagorean Theorem x 2 + y 2 =1. x 2 + y 2 =1. Solve for x x and take the negative solution.

5.

The outputs of tangent and cotangent will repeat every π π units.
