Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image asks:
"Find the exact coordinates of the point where the terminal side of the angle (in standard position) intersects a circle of radius 4 centered at the origin."
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Interpretation of the problem:
- The angle given is , which is in radians.
- The terminal side of this angle intersects a circle with a radius of 4 units, centered at the origin.
- We need to find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
-
Find the coordinates on the unit circle:
- On the unit circle, the coordinates of a point corresponding to an angle are .
- For , this angle lies in the third quadrant.
- Using the reference angle , we know:
- So, the coordinates on the unit circle are .
-
Adjust for the circle of radius 4:
- Since the radius of the circle is 4, we multiply the coordinates by 4.
Final Answer:
The exact coordinates of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the circle of radius 4 are .
