Question

Point A is at 0 radians with coordinates (1,0) on the unit circle. Point B is the result of point A rotating 7 pie/6 radians counterclockwise

around the unit circle. Name two other positive angles of rotation that take A to B.

Answer 1

19π/6 radians and 31π/6 radians

Explanation:

To rotate point A counterclockwise by 7π/6 radians, we can add this angle to the angle of point A, which is 0 radians, to get the angle of point B:

The angle of point B = angle of point A + 7π/6 radians

= 0 radians + 7π/6 radians

= 7π/6 radians

Angle of point B in degrees = (7π/6) * (180/π) degrees

= 210 degrees

To find two other positive angles of rotation that take A to B, we can add any multiple of 2π radians to the angle of point B. This is because adding 2π radians is equivalent to a full rotation around the unit circle, which brings us back to the same point. Therefore, we have:

angle of rotation 1 = angle of point B + 2π radians

= 7π/6 radians + 2π radians

= 19π/6 radians

angle of rotation 1 in degrees = (19π/6) * (180/π) degrees

= 285 degrees

angle of rotation 2 = angle of point B + 4π radians

= 7π/6 radians + 4π radians

= 31π/6 radians

angle of rotation 2 in degrees = (31π/6) * (180/π) degrees

= 465 degrees

So the two other positive angles of rotation that take A to B are (19π/6 radians and 31π/6 radians) or 285 degrees and 465 degrees respectively.

Note:

To convert the angles from radians to degrees, we can use the conversion factor:

1 radian = 180/π degrees
