Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Coterminal angles differ by full rotations.
2. A full rotation in degrees is 360 360^\circ .
3. A full rotation in radians is 2π 2\pi .

STEP 2

1. Find a coterminal angle in degrees.
2. Find a coterminal angle in radians.

STEP 3

To find an angle between 0 0^\circ and 360 360^\circ that is coterminal with 1170 1170^\circ , we need to subtract 360 360^\circ repeatedly until the result is within the desired range.

STEP 4

Calculate the coterminal angle: 1170360×n 1170^\circ - 360^\circ \times n where n n is the number of full rotations. We start by dividing: n=1170360=3 n = \left\lfloor \frac{1170}{360} \right\rfloor = 3

STEP 5

Subtract 3×360 3 \times 360^\circ from 1170 1170^\circ : 11701080=90 1170^\circ - 1080^\circ = 90^\circ

STEP 6

To find an angle between 0 0 and 2π 2\pi that is coterminal with 17π10 -\frac{17\pi}{10} , we need to add 2π 2\pi repeatedly until the result is within the desired range.

STEP 7

Calculate the coterminal angle: 17π10+2π×n -\frac{17\pi}{10} + 2\pi \times n where n n is the number of full rotations. We start by finding n n such that the angle is positive: n=1710=2 n = \left\lceil \frac{17}{10} \right\rceil = 2

STEP 8

Add 2×2π 2 \times 2\pi to 17π10 -\frac{17\pi}{10} : 17π10+20π10=3π10 -\frac{17\pi}{10} + \frac{20\pi}{10} = \frac{3\pi}{10}
The exact values for the coterminal angles are: (a) 90 \boxed{90^\circ} (b) 3π10 \boxed{\frac{3\pi}{10}} radians
