Answer:

* cos 211.7 not equal the other values

Explanation:

* Lets revise the angles in the four quadrant

- If the angle in the first quadrant is Ф, then the equivalent angles to

it in the other three quadrant are

# 180° - Ф ⇒ 2nd quadrant (sin only +ve)

# 180° + Ф ⇒ 3rd quadrant (tan only +ve)

# 360° - Ф ⇒ 4th quadrant (cos only +ve)

# -Ф ⇒ 4th quadrant (cos only +ve)

# -180 + Ф ⇒ 3rd quadrant (tan only +ve)

# -180 - Ф ⇒ 2nd quadrant (sin only +ve)

# -360 + Ф ⇒ 1st quadrant (all are +ve)

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Ф = 31.7°

∵ cos 31.7 = +ve value

∵ 180° + Ф° = 180° + 31.7° = 211.7°

∵ cos (180° + Ф°) = - cos Ф° ⇒ cos (180° + Ф°) in the 3rd quadrant is

same value as cos Ф but with -ve sign

∴ cos 211.7° = - cos 31.7°

cos 31.7° ≠ cos 211.7°

∵ 360° - Ф° = 360° - 31.7° = 328.3°

∵ cos (360° - Ф°) = cos Ф° ⇒ cos (360° - Ф°) in the 4th quadrant has the

same value and sign with cos Ф°

∴ cos 328.3° = cos 31.7°

cos 31.7° = cos 328.3°

∵ -391.7° + 360° = -31.7° ⇒ more then clockwise turn by 31.7°

∵ cos (-Ф°) = cos Ф° ⇒ cos (-Ф°) in the 4th quadrant has the same value

and sign with cos Ф°

∴ cos (-31.7°) = cos 31.7°

cos 31.7° = cos (-390.7°)

* cos 211.7 not equal the other values
