Solution

Let's solve the questions one by one based on the graph and table provided.


Question 91: Referring to Figure 1, tan(160°) = ?

Solution:

  1. From the figure, 160160^\circ lies in the second quadrant. In this quadrant, the tangent function (tan\tan) is negative.

  2. The reference angle for 160160^\circ is 180160=20180^\circ - 160^\circ = 20^\circ.

  3. Using the formula: tan(160)=tan(20)\tan(160^\circ) = -\tan(20^\circ)

  4. Among the options, tan(160)=tan(20)\tan(160^\circ) = -\tan(20^\circ) matches.

Answer: tan(20)-\tan(20^\circ)


Question 92: Referring to Figure 1, sin(−120°) = ?

Solution:

  1. The angle 120-120^\circ means a clockwise rotation of 120120^\circ, which places it in the third quadrant.

  2. In the third quadrant, the sine function (sin\sin) is negative.

  3. The reference angle for 120-120^\circ is 180120=60180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ.

  4. Using the formula: sin(120)=sin(60)\sin(-120^\circ) = -\sin(60^\circ)

  5. Among the options, sin(120)=sin(60)\sin(-120^\circ) = -\sin(60^\circ) matches.

Answer: sin(60)-\sin(60^\circ)


Question 93: π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians = ?

Solution:

  1. To convert radians to degrees, use the formula: Degrees=Radians×180π\text{Degrees} = \text{Radians} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi}

  2. Substituting π2\frac{\pi}{2}: Degrees=π2×180π=90\text{Degrees} = \frac{\pi}{2} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = 90^\circ

  3. Among the options, π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians corresponds to 9090^\circ.

Answer: 9090^\circ


Question 94: 150=?150^\circ = ? (in radians)

Solution:

  1. To convert degrees to radians, use the formula: Radians=Degrees×π180\text{Radians} = \text{Degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ}

  2. Substituting 150150^\circ: Radians=150×π180=5π6\text{Radians} = 150^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{5\pi}{6}

  3. Among the options, 150=5π6150^\circ = \frac{5\pi}{6}.

Answer: 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}


Question 95: If sin(x)=1\sin(x) = -1, then x=?x = ?

Solution:

  1. The sine function (sin(x)\sin(x)) equals 1-1 at x=3π/2x = 3\pi/2 radians (or 270270^\circ).

  2. This happens because at x=3π/2x = 3\pi/2, the point on the unit circle is (0,1)(0, -1), where the yy-coordinate represents sin(x)\sin(x).

  3. Among the options, x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}.

Answer: 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}


Recap of Answers:

  • 91: tan(20)-\tan(20^\circ)
  • 92: sin(60)-\sin(60^\circ)
  • 93: 9090^\circ
  • 94: 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}
  • 95: 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}
