Find the values of sin(θ), cos(θ), and tan(θ) for θ = 7π/6 using the unit circle
To find the values of $ \sin(\theta) $, $ \cos(\theta) $, and $ \tan(\theta) $ for $ \theta = \frac{7\pi}{6} $ using the unit circle, we start by locating the angle on the unit circle:
$ \theta = \frac{7\pi}{6} $ corresponds to an angle in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine values are negative.
In the unit circle, for $ \theta = \frac{7\pi}{6} $:
$$ \sin\left( \frac{7\pi}{6} \right) = -\frac{1}{2} $$
$$ \cos\left( \frac{7\pi}{6} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
To find the tangent, use: $$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} $$
$$ \tan\left( \frac{7\pi}{6} \right) = \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} $$
