Question(a) Sketch θ=330\theta=330^{\circ} in standard position.
Then sketch an angle between 360-360^{\circ} and 00^{\circ} that is coterminal with θ\theta.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to draw an angle of 330 degrees, and then draw a *different* angle that ends in the same spot, but is measured *clockwise* instead of *counter-clockwise*. Watch out! Remember **coterminal** angles land in the same spot, even if they're measured differently.
Don't get tripped up by the negative angle!

STEP 2

1. Draw the initial angle
2. Find the coterminal angle
3. Draw the coterminal angle

STEP 3

Remember, an angle in **standard position** has its vertex at the origin (0,0)(0, 0) and its initial side along the positive x-axis.
We measure counter-clockwise for positive angles.

STEP 4

Since a full circle is 360360^\circ, an angle of 330330^\circ is almost a full circle.
It's 360330=30360^\circ - 330^\circ = 30^\circ short of a full circle.
So, draw an angle that goes almost all the way around counter-clockwise, stopping 3030^\circ short in the fourth quadrant.

STEP 5

**Coterminal angles** start and end at the same place, even if they are measured differently.
We're looking for a *negative* angle, which means we'll measure it *clockwise*.

STEP 6

We can find a coterminal angle by adding or subtracting multiples of 360360^\circ.
Since we want a negative angle between 360-360^\circ and 00^\circ, we need to measure clockwise.
Notice that 330330^\circ is just 3030^\circ short of a full circle in the counter-clockwise direction.
That means it's 30-30^\circ in the clockwise direction!
So, our coterminal angle is 30-30^\circ.

STEP 7

A negative angle means we measure *clockwise* from the positive x-axis.

STEP 8

Draw an angle that goes 3030^\circ *clockwise* from the positive x-axis.
Notice how it ends in the *exact same spot* as the 330330^\circ angle!

STEP 9

We've drawn the 330330^\circ angle in standard position.
We've also drawn the 30-30^\circ angle, which is coterminal with 330330^\circ, meaning they both end at the same place.
