Answer

$\tan$ -1020$^{\circ}$ = $\sqrt3$

Work Step by Step

$\cos$ -1020$^{\circ}$ First, lets find the coterminal angle. -1020$^{\circ}$ - 3(360$^{\circ}$) = 60$^{\circ}$ Next, we find the reference angle. $\theta$$^{1}$ = 60$^{\circ}$ Since the coterminal angle is in Quadrant I, $\tan$ is negative. Therefore: $\tan$ 60$^{\circ}$ = $\sqrt3$
