Q. Rotate the yellow dot to a location of 1 radian. After you rotate the angle, determine the value of cos1, to the nearest hundredth.
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the value of the cosine function when the angle is 1 radian. The cosine function gives the x-coordinate of a point on the unit circle corresponding to a given angle measured from the positive x-axis.
Use calculator or table: Use a calculator or trigonometric table to find the value of cos(1 radian). Since the value of cos(1 radian) is not a common angle that we can easily memorize, we will use a calculator to find the value.
Calculate cos(1 radian):</b>Calculate$cos(1 radian) using a calculator.After inputting the value into a calculator, we find that cos(1 radian)≈0.54030.
Round to nearest hundredth: Round the value to the nearest hundredth.To round to the nearest hundredth, we look at the third decimal place. Since the third decimal place is 0, we do not need to round up. Therefore, the value of cos(1radian) to the nearest hundredth is 0.54.
