Cot 3100 Degrees

The value of cot 3100 degrees is 1.1917535. . .. Cot 3100 degrees in radians is written as cot (3100° × π/180°), i.e., cot (155π/9) or cot (54.105206. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of cot 3100 degrees with examples.

Cot 3100° in decimal: 1.1917535. . .
Cot (-3100 degrees): -1.1917535. . .
Cot 3100° in radians: cot (155π/9) or cot (54.1052068 . . .)

What is the Value of Cot 3100 Degrees?

The value of cot 3100 degrees in decimal is 1.191753592. . .. Cot 3100 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (3100 degrees) in radians (54.10520 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 3100 degrees = 3100° × (π/180°) rad = 155π/9 or 54.1052 . . .
∴ cot 3100° = cot(54.1052) = 1.1917535. . .

Explanation:

For cot 3100°, the angle 3100° > 360°. We can represent cot 3100° as, cot(3100° mod 360°) = cot(220°). The angle 3100°, coterminal to angle 220°, is located in the Third Quadrant(Quadrant III).
Since cotangent function is positive in the 3rd quadrant, thus cot 3100 degrees value = 1.1917535. . .
Similarly, given the periodic property of cot 3100°, it can also be written as, cot 3100 degrees = (3100° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ cot 3100° = cot 3280° = cot 3460°, and so on.
Note: Since, cotangent is an odd function, the value of cot(-3100°) = -cot(3100°).

Methods to Find Value of Cot 3100 Degrees

The cotangent function is positive in the 3rd quadrant. The value of cot 3100° is given as 1.19175. . . We can find the value of cot 3100 degrees by:

Using Trigonometric Functions
Using Unit Circle

Cot 3100° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the cot 3100 degrees as:

cos(3100°)/sin(3100°)
± cos 3100°/√(1 - cos²(3100°))
± √(1 - sin²(3100°))/sin 3100°
± 1/√(sec²(3100°) - 1)
± √(cosec²(3100°) - 1)
1/tan 3100°

Note: Since 3100° lies in the 3rd Quadrant, the final value of cot 3100° will be positive.

We can use trigonometric identities to represent cot 3100° as,

tan (90° - 3100°) = tan(-3010°)
-tan (90° + 3100°) = -tan 3190°
-cot (180° - 3100°) = -cot(-2920°)

Cot 3100 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of cot 3100 degrees using the unit circle, represent 3100° in the form (8 × 360°) + 220° [∵ 3100°>360°] ∵ The angle 3100° is coterminal to 220° angle and also cotangent is a periodic function, cot 3100° = cot 220°.

Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 220° or 3100° angle with the positive x-axis.
The cot of 3100 degrees equals the x-coordinate(-0.766) divided by y-coordinate(-0.6428) of the point of intersection (-0.766, -0.6428) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of cot 3100° = x/y = 1.1918 (approx).

Examples Using Cot 3100 Degrees

Example 1: Find the value of (cos (3100°) cosec (1550°) sec (1550°))/2. [Hint: Use cot 3100° = 1.1918]

Solution:

Using trigonometry formulas,
(cos (3100°) cosec (1550°) sec (1550°))/2 = cos (3100°)/(2 sin (1550°) cos (1550°))
Using sin 2a formula,
2 sin (1550°) cos (1550°) = sin (2 × 1550°) = sin 3100°
⇒ cos (3100°) / sin (3100°) = cot 3100°
⇒ (cos (3100°) cosec (1550°) sec (1550°))/2 = 1.1918
Example 2: Find the value of 8 cot(3100°)/10 cot(-2920°).

Solution:

Using trigonometric identities, we know, cot(3100°) = -cot(180° - 3100°) = -cot(-2920°).
⇒ cot(3100°) = -cot(-2920°)
⇒ Value of 8 cot(3100°)/10 cot(-2920°) = -8/10 = -4/5
Example 3: Using the value of cot 3100°, solve: (cosec²(3100°) - 1).

Solution:
We know, (cosec²(3100°) - 1) = (cot²(3100°)) = 1.4203
⇒ (cosec²(3100°) - 1) = 1.4203
