Q. Rotate the yellow dot to a location of 2π radians. After you rotate the angle, determine the value of tan2π, to the nearest hundredth.
Understand unit circle: Understand the unit circle and the angle rotation.Rotating a point on the unit circle by 2π radians brings the point back to its starting position at (1,0), which corresponds to an angle of 0 radians since 2π radians is equivalent to one full rotation around the circle.
Recall tangent function: Recall the definition of the tangent function. The tangent of an angle in the unit circle is the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at that angle. For the angle 2π, the point on the unit circle is (1,0).
Calculate tan(2π): Calculate the value of tan(2π).Since the point at angle 2π is (1,0), the y-coordinate is 0 and the x-coordinate is 1. Therefore, tan(2π)=xy=10=0.
Round to nearest hundredth: Round the value of tan(2π) to the nearest hundredth.Since tan(2π) is 0, rounding to the nearest hundredth is not necessary, and the value remains 0.
