TRY THESE 1. If cosθ > 0 and tanθ < 0, which quadrant is the terminating ray of an angle in standard position. 2. The point is on the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position. If the distance of the point from the origin is one unit, find sinθ and tanθ. 3.Find the exact value of sin (-135°). 4.Simplify: (cos 30°)(sin 60°) – tan 60° Aim: Know exact values of critical angles in order to simplify expressions.
