1. as usual, draw the triangle -- in this case in QI.

sinθ = y/r
cosθ = x/r

2. Everybody studying trig should know the ratio of sides, and thus the trig ratios, of the 30-60-90° right angled triangles, as well as the 45 -45-90° triangle

for the 30-60-90 the sides are 1 - √3 - 2 units respectively

looking at your sketch of that triangle, notice that
sin 60° = √3/2
if sinØ = √3/2
then Ø = 60° or π/3 radians

Find f. f ''(θ) = sin θ + cos θ, f(0) = 5, f '(0) = 3 My steps: f'(θ)=cosθ-sinθ+C When f'(0)=3, C=-2, so f'(θ)=cosθ-sinθ-2. f(θ)=-sinθ-cosθ-2x+D When f(0)=5, D=6, so f is -sinθ-cosθ-2x+6. How is that wrong?
