Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem visible in the image involves finding .
Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Convert to degrees
We know that radians equals . Thus, So, .
Step 2: Find the reference angle
The reference angle for can be found by subtracting from : Thus, the reference angle is .
Step 3: Determine the quadrant and sign of the tangent
Since lies in the fourth quadrant, and the tangent function is negative in this quadrant, will be negative.
Step 4: Evaluate
We know that:
Step 5: Apply the sign from the quadrant
Therefore, .
To rationalize the denominator:
Final Answer:
It appears the answer written in the image is correct, but the sign should be negative. Would you like any further details or clarifications on this?
