○ negative
○ positive

is the value of cos 797° positive or negative?
○ positive
○ negative

Explanation:

Step1: Find coterminal angle

To determine the sign of trigonometric functions for \(797^\circ\), we first find its coterminal angle by subtracting multiples of \(360^\circ\).
\(797^\circ - 2\times360^\circ = 797^\circ - 720^\circ = 77^\circ\)

Step2: Determine quadrant

The angle \(77^\circ\) (and thus \(797^\circ\) since they are coterminal) lies in the first quadrant? Wait, no, wait: Wait, \(797 - 2\times360 = 797 - 720 = 77^\circ\)? Wait, no, \(360\times2 = 720\), \(797 - 720 = 77\)? Wait, no, \(360\times2 = 720\), \(797 - 720 = 77\)? Wait, no, \(797 - 360 = 437\), \(437 - 360 = 77\). So \(797^\circ\) is coterminal with \(77^\circ\)? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, \(360\times2 = 720\), \(797 - 720 = 77\), yes. Wait, but \(77^\circ\) is in the first quadrant. But wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, \(360\times2 = 720\), \(797 - 720 = 77\), so \(797^\circ\) is in the first quadrant? But wait, let's check again. Wait, \(0^\circ\) to \(90^\circ\) is first quadrant. \(77^\circ\) is in first quadrant. But wait, maybe I miscalculated. Wait, \(797\div360 = 2\) with a remainder of \(797 - 2\times360 = 797 - 720 = 77\). So the coterminal angle is \(77^\circ\), which is in the first quadrant. But wait, the sine of \(77^\circ\) is positive, cosine is positive. But wait, the second question is about \(\cos 797^\circ\). Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, \(797 - 3\times360 = 797 - 1080 = -283\), which is coterminal with \(77^\circ\) (since \(-283 + 360 = 77\)). Wait, no, that's not right. Wait, \(360\times2 = 720\), \(797 - 720 = 77\), so \(797^\circ\) is in the first quadrant. So cosine of \(797^\circ\) should be positive? Wait, but that contradicts. Wait, no, maybe I messed up the coterminal angle. Wait, \(797 - 2\times360 = 797 - 720 = 77\), so \(797^\circ\) is equivalent to \(77^\circ\), which is in the first quadrant. So sine is positive, cosine is positive. But the options for the second question are positive or negative. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, \(797^\circ\): let's subtract \(2\times360^\circ = 720^\circ\), so \(797 - 720 = 77^\circ\). So \(77^\circ\) is in the first quadrant. In the first quadrant, all trigonometric functions are positive. So \(\cos 797^\circ = \cos 77^\circ\), which is positive. Wait, but the options have positive and negative. So the correct answer for the second question is positive? Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's confirm. The coterminal angle of \(797^\circ\) is \(797 - 2\times360 = 77^\circ\), which is in the first quadrant. In the first quadrant, cosine is positive. So the value of \(\cos 797^\circ\) is positive.

Answer:

For the question "Is the value of \(\cos 797^\circ\) positive or negative?":
The correct option is: Positive (the option with "Positive" text, assuming the options are labeled as in the image, e.g., if the first option for this question is "Positive" and the second is "Negative", then the answer is the option with "Positive").
