Chapter 5 - Section 5.1 - The Unit Circle - 5.1 Exercises - Page 408: 27

Answer

($\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}, \frac{-1}{2}$)

Work Step by Step

If you look at the unit circle, you cannot locate $\frac{-\pi}{6}$. You have to add 2$\pi$, a full rotation of the unit circle, to $\frac{-\pi}{6}$. Thus, you get $\frac{11\pi}{6}$. $\frac{11\pi}{6}$ is considered a coterminal angle because it is located between 0 and 2$\pi$. If you look at $\frac{11\pi}{6}$ on the unit circle its terminal point is at ($\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}, \frac{-1}{2}$).
