Find the values of $cos( heta)$ for 3 different angles on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Michael Moore

To find the cosine values for angles on the unit circle, we first identify the angles and then use the unit circle definition.

Example angles: \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}, \theta = \frac{5\pi}{6}, \theta = \frac{7\pi}{4}\).

For \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}\):

Using the unit circle, we know that \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}\).

For \(\theta = \frac{5\pi}{6}\):

Using the unit circle, we know that \(\cos(\frac{5\pi}{6}) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).

For \(\theta = \frac{7\pi}{4}\):

Using the unit circle, we know that \(\cos(\frac{7\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\).

First, we will identify the angles and determine their cosine values using the unit circle.

Angles: ( heta = frac{pi}{3}, heta = frac{5pi}{6}, heta = frac{7pi}{4}).

For ( heta = frac{pi}{3}), the cosine value is:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

For ( heta = frac{5pi}{6}), the cosine value is:

$cosleft(frac{5pi}{6}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$

For ( heta = frac{7pi}{4}), the cosine value is:

$cosleft(frac{7pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

We will use the unit circle to find the cosine values.

Angles: (frac{pi}{3}, frac{5pi}{6}, frac{7pi}{4}).

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

$cosleft(frac{5pi}{6}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$

$cosleft(frac{7pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$
