How do you find the coterminal with the angle #30^circ#?

Answer 1

Add or subtract any whole number multiple of #360^@#.

We con go all the way around the circle in either diection and and up on the positive #x# axis. If we then go #30^@# more, we get an angle that is coterminal with #30^@#.

#360^@+30^@ = 390^@# is coterminal with #30^@#.

#2xx360^@ + 30^@ = 780^@+30^@ = 810^@# is coterminal with #30^@#.

#10xx360^@ + 30^@ = 3600^@+30^@ = 3630^@# is coterminal with #30^@#.

#-360^@+30^@ = -330^@# is coterminal with #30^@#.

#4xx-360^@+30^@ = -1440^@+30^@ = -1410^@# is coterminal with #30^@#.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
