The correct Answer is:
To find all angles between \(0^\circ\) and \(720^\circ\) whose tangent is \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Tangent Function The tangent function is negative in the second and fourth quadrants. We need to find the reference angle whose tangent is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). ### Step 2: Find the Reference Angle The reference angle for \(\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) is: \[ \theta = 30^\circ \quad \text{(or } \frac{\pi}{6} \text{ radians)} \] Thus, for \(\tan \theta = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), the angles in the second and fourth quadrants are: - Second quadrant: \(180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ\) - Fourth quadrant: \(360^\circ - 30^\circ = 330^\circ\) ### Step 3: General Solutions The general solutions for the angles where \(\tan \theta = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) can be expressed as: \[ \theta = 150^\circ + k \cdot 180^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad \theta = 330^\circ + k \cdot 180^\circ \] where \(k\) is any integer. ### Step 4: Find Specific Solutions in the Range \(0^\circ\) to \(720^\circ\) Now, we will find the specific angles by substituting integer values for \(k\). 1. For \(k = 0\): - From \(150^\circ\): \(150^\circ\) - From \(330^\circ\): \(330^\circ\) 2. For \(k = 1\): - From \(150^\circ\): \(150^\circ + 180^\circ = 330^\circ\) (already counted) - From \(330^\circ\): \(330^\circ + 180^\circ = 510^\circ\) 3. For \(k = 2\): - From \(150^\circ\): \(150^\circ + 2 \cdot 180^\circ = 630^\circ\) - From \(330^\circ\): \(330^\circ + 2 \cdot 180^\circ = 810^\circ\) (out of range) ### Step 5: List All Valid Angles The valid angles between \(0^\circ\) and \(720^\circ\) are: - \(150^\circ\) - \(330^\circ\) - \(510^\circ\) - \(630^\circ\) ### Final Answer Thus, the angles between \(0^\circ\) and \(720^\circ\) whose tangent is \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) are: \[ 150^\circ, \quad 330^\circ, \quad 510^\circ, \quad 630^\circ \]
