검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Understand the inverse trigonometric function involved. Here, \( \cot^{-1} 30 \) means the angle whose cotangent is 30.

Step 2: Recall the relationship between cotangent and tangent: \( \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} \). So, \( \cot^{-1} 30 = \theta \) implies \( \tan \theta = \frac{1}{30} \).

Step 3: To find the angle \( \theta \), use the inverse tangent function: \( \theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{30} \right) \).

Step 4: Calculate \( \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{30} \right) \) using a calculator or trigonometric tables to find the angle in degrees or radians, depending on the context.

Step 5: Match the calculated angle with the closest approximation given in Column II to complete the pairing.

주요 개념

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

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse trigonometric functions, such as cot⁻¹ (arccotangent), are used to find the angle whose trigonometric ratio equals a given value. For example, cot⁻¹(30) gives the angle whose cotangent is 30. Understanding these functions is essential for converting between angle measures and ratio values.

Angle Measurement and Approximation

Angles can be measured in degrees or radians and often require approximation for practical use. Matching trigonometric values to their angle approximations involves understanding how to interpret and convert between exact values and decimal approximations, which is crucial for solving problems involving trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric Ratios and Their Properties

Trigonometric ratios like sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent relate the angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its sides. Knowing the properties and ranges of these ratios helps in identifying correct angle-value pairs and understanding the behavior of these functions across different quadrants.

(Modeling) Fish's View of the World The figure shows a fish's view of the world above the surface of the water. (Data from Walker, J., 'The Amateur Scientist,' Scientific American.) Suppose that a light ray comes from the horizon, enters the water, and strikes the fish's eye. Assume that this ray gives a value of 90° for angle θ₁ in the formula for Snell's law. (In a practical situation, this angle would probably be a little less than 90°.) The speed of light in water is about 2.254 x 10⁸ m per sec. Find angle θ₂ to the nearest tenth.
