Concept Check Does there exist an angle θ with the function values cos θ = ⅔ and sin θ = ¾?

검증된 단계별 안내

Recall the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine: \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\).

Substitute the given values into the identity: \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2\).

Calculate each square separately: \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16}\) and \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}\).

Add the two fractions: \(\frac{9}{16} + \frac{4}{9}\), and find a common denominator to combine them.

Compare the sum to 1; if the sum equals 1, then such an angle \(\theta\) exists, otherwise it does not.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Pythagorean Identity

The Pythagorean identity states that for any angle θ, the square of the sine plus the square of the cosine equals one: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. This fundamental relationship helps verify if given sine and cosine values correspond to a valid angle.

Range of Sine and Cosine Functions

Sine and cosine functions have values that always lie between -1 and 1 inclusive. Any value outside this range is not possible for these trigonometric functions, which is essential when checking the validity of given values.

Existence of an Angle Given Sine and Cosine Values

To determine if an angle θ exists with specific sine and cosine values, both values must satisfy the Pythagorean identity and lie within the valid range. If these conditions hold, such an angle exists; otherwise, it does not.
