Question
For the rotation start fraction, 28, pi, divided by, 3, find the coterminal angle from 0, is less than or equal to, theta, is less than, 2, pi0≤θ<2π, the quadrant, and the reference angle.
Solution
To find the coterminal angle, we first need to understand that coterminal angles are angles in the standard position (angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis) that have a common terminal side.
-
The given angle is 28π/3. We can find the coterminal angle by adding or subtracting multiples of 2π (since 2π is the equivalent of a full circle in radians) until we get an angle that lies within the desired range of 0 ≤ θ < 2π.
-
To find the smallest positive coterminal angle, we can use the formula θ' = θ - 2πn, where n is the number of full rotations in the given angle. In this case, n = 28/3 ÷ 2 = 14/3 ≈ 4.67. Since n must be an integer, we round 4.67 down to 4.
-
Substitute θ = 28π/3 and n = 4 into the formula: θ' = 28π/3 - 2π*4 = 28π/3 - 8π = 4π/3.
-
So, the smallest positive coterminal angle is 4π/3, which lies within the desired range of 0 ≤ θ < 2π.
-
To find the quadrant of the angle 4π/3, we note that an angle of π radian lies on the negative x-axis, and an angle of 2π radian completes a full circle. Therefore, an angle of 4π/3, which is more than π but less than 2π, lies in the third quadrant.
-
The reference angle is the acute angle that the terminal side of the given angle makes with the x-axis. For angles in the third quadrant, the reference angle is π - θ. So, the reference angle for 4π/3 is π - 4π/3 = π/3.
