Answer

Fill the blanks with: a. ... x-axis ... $80^{o}$ ... $10^{o}$ b. ... $\sin 80^{o}$ ... $-\sin 10^{o}$

Work Step by Step

Book references: Reference angle p. 494, Signs of trig. functions, p.493 a. The first sentence ends with "... x-axis." The terminal side of $\theta$=$100^{o}$ and the x-axis form an acute angle of $80^{o}.$ So $\overline{\theta}=80^{o}$. The terminal side of $\theta$=$190^{o}$ and the x-axis form an acute angle of $10^{o}.$ $\overline{\theta}=10^{o}$ b. For $100^{o}$, which is in quadrant II, where sine is positive, the reference angle is $\overline{\theta}=80^{o}$, so $\sin 100^{o}=\sin 80^{o}$ For $190^{o}$, which is in quadrant III, where sine is negative, the reference angle is $\overline{\theta}=10^{o}$, so $\sin 190^{o}=-\sin 10^{o}$ Fill the blanks with: a. ... x-axis ... $80^{o}$ ... $10^{o}$ b. ... $\sin 80^{o}$ ... $-\sin 10^{o}$
