The point (-3, 1) is on the terminal side of angle ?, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent?

To solve this problem yo need to have the "x", the "y", and the radius. To find the radius since it is not given we use the formula.

sq rt(-3^2+1^2)

sq rt(9+1)

sq rt(10) would be the length of the radius in this case.

Then we use the sine cosine and tangent fractions

sin:y/r

cos:x/r

tan:y/x

With the values plugged in the equations are

SIN:1/sqrt(10) Since there can´t be a sq rt in hte denominator we change it to 1(sq rt(10))/10

COS:-3/sqrt(10) Since there can´t be a sq rt in the denominator we change it to -3(sq rt(10))/10

TAN:1/-3 This one can stay the same.

This would be the measures of SIN, COS, and TAN.
