Answer the given questions about the indicated examples of this section.

In Example 6, if the point (−1, √3) is replaced with the point (1,− √3), what are the resulting values?


Data from Example 6

Determine the trigonometric functions of θ if the terminal side of θ passes through (−1, √3). See Fig. 8.4. We know that x = −1, y = √3, and from the Pythagorean theorem, we find that r = 2. Therefore, the trigonometric functions of θ are

The point −(1, √3) is in the second quadrant, and the signs of the functions of θ are those of a second-quadrant angle.
