  • Choice A
  • Choice C
  • Choice E

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the given radian angle measure by the fraction 180/pi to convert to degree form.

This gives


\left((7\pi)/(4)\right)*\left((180)/(\pi)\right) = 315

The pi terms cancel.

Therefore, 7pi/4 radians = 315 degrees.

----------------------------

Use the unit circle (see below) to see that 315 degrees is in quadrant 4.

The terminal point that corresponds to this angle is
\left((√(2))/(2),-(√(2))/(2)\right)

This leads us to


\cos(\theta) = (√(2))/(2)\\\\\sin(\theta) = -(√(2))/(2)\\\\

Since any point on the unit circle is of the form
(x,y) = (\cos(\theta),\sin(\theta))

The ratio of those sine and cosine values leads to the tangent value.


\tan(\theta) = (\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta))\\\\\tan(\theta) = \sin(\theta) / \cos(\theta)\\\\\tan(\theta) = -(√(2))/(2) / (√(2))/(2)\\\\\tan(\theta) = -(√(2))/(2) * (2)/(√(2))\\\\\tan(\theta) = -1\\\\

----------------------------------

Go back to the 315 degree angle.

This angle is between 270 and 360, so it's in Q4.

The reference angle for anything in Q4 is 360-theta

So the reference angle here is 360-theta = 360-315 = 45.

Answer:


tan (\theta)=-1


sin (\theta)=-(√(2) )/(2)

The measure of the reference angle is 45°

Step-by-step explanation:


tan \left((7\pi )/(4) \right)=-1 \ \implies \ \textsf{true}


cos \left((7\pi )/(4) \right)=(√(2) )/(2) \ \implies \ \textsf{untrue}


sin\left((7\pi )/(4) \right)=-(√(2) )/(2) \ \implies \ \textsf{true}

Reference Angle

convert the angle to degrees:


\implies (7\pi )/(4) \ \textsf{rad} =(7\pi )/(4) * (180)/(\pi)=315 \textdegree

So the angle is quadrant IV

For angles in quadrant IV: reference angle = 360° - angle

Therefore, reference angle = 360 - 315 = 45°
