Evaluate cot870°.
1. - sqrt3
2. -1/sqrt3
3. 1/sqrt3
4. sqrt3

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

The given angle is 870°.

870°-360°-360°=150°

This means that:

870° is coterminal with 150°, hence its terminal side is in the second quadrant.

It makes an acute angle of 30° with the x-axis.

Note that cotangent is negative in the second quadrant,

Hence,

The first option is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

the correct answers i think are b. and d.

give me brainliest if it is correct!
