The number pi/3 determines a point on the unit circle with coordinates (1/2, squareroot 3/2). What are the coordinates of the point determined by - pi/3? The coordinates of the point determined by - pi/3 are. (Type an ordered pair. Type an integer or a fraction. Type exact answers for each coordinate, using radicals as needed.)
Solution
A circle with radius is 1 and centre at origin
x2 +y2 = 1
here /3 denote the point (1/2, sqrt3/2)
x=cos/3 ,y= sin/3
then the number -/3 denote
x=cos(-/3)=1/2 ,y= sin(-/3)= -sqrt3/2
(x,y) = (1/2, -sqrt3/2)
the cordinate of the point -/3 is the image of the cordinate of the point /3 in x-axis
