2-127.

State all values of that satisfy each of the following equations. Sketching a unit circle will help. 

  1.   

    Unit circle, with right triangles in first & second quadrants, each vertical leg labeled, 1 half. Central angle in first quadrant, labeled 30 degrees. Central angle, from positive, x axis, to hypotenuse in third quadrant, shaded and labeled, 150 degrees.

  1.   

    Unit Circle with right triangles in second & third quadrants, such that they share their horizontal leg, which is on the negative, x axis, labeled, negative 1 half, the vertical legs align. Central angle from positive, x axis, to hypotenuse in second quadrant, shaded & labeled 120 degrees. Central angle from positive, x axis, to hypotenuse in third quadrant, shaded & labeled, 240 degrees.

  1.  

    What special angle(s) are involved?
    What does the negative sign mean?

  1.   

    These angles are coterminal with the -axis.
