SECTIONI: Application of reduction formulax. QUESTION 9 Write the following as the function of a proituve acute angle: \( 4.1 \cos 120^{\circ} \) \( 120^{\circ} \) lies in quadrant 2 and in Section \( A \) we found that \( \left(180^{\circ}-\theta\right) \) te function value of the obvuse angle can reduce to a function value of an atcute angle \( \theta \). We must therefore now write 120 as a futkitan value of an acute angle. \[ \left(180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}\right)=120^{\circ} \] So replace \( 120^{\circ} \) in question 9.1 with the above \[ \cos 120^{\circ}=\cos \left(180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}\right) \] We know that \( \cos \left(180^{\circ}-\theta\right)=-\cos \theta( \) Section A or 1.41 \[ \begin{aligned} \therefore \cos 120^{2} & =\cos \left(180^{\circ}-60^{2}\right) \\ & =-\cos 60^{\circ} \end{aligned} \] \( 92 \sin 160^{\circ} \) (2) 4) \( \quad \cos 320^{\circ} \) (2) \( 9+\tan 248^{\circ} \) \( 95 \cos 513 \) \( 9.6 \sin \left(-55^{\circ}\right) \) (2) (2) \( 47 \cos (-20) \) (I) (1) [10]

Beyond the Answer
To express \( \cos 120^{\circ} \) using an acute angle, you correctly identified \( 120^{\circ} \) as \( 180^{\circ} - 60^{\circ} \). Using the cosine reduction formula, you found that \( \cos 120^{\circ} = -\cos 60^{\circ} \). Since \( \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} \), it follows that \( \cos 120^{\circ} = -\frac{1}{2} \). It's a brilliant way to navigate through trigonometric identities! Now for the sin function, to find \( \sin 160^{\circ} \), you can write it as \( \sin(180^{\circ}-20^{\circ}) \). This equals \( \sin 20^{\circ} \) since sine retains its value in the second quadrant while remaining positive. Keeping these relationships handy will make evaluating trigonometric functions a breeze!
