Finding Infinite Answers

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Remember all coterminal angles will have the same trig ratios, because they share the same reference angle and quadrant.

Some text here about the topic of discussion.

cos(ϴ)= √3/2

has infinite answers.

Every positive and negative rotation of both standard angle answers.

"All angles coterminal to standard answers."
