I do suggest you watch the video that I put up on another or your posts today.
the plus/minus 360 is easy
sin of any angle is equal to the sin of that angle plus or minus any multiple of 360degrees
so
sin23 = sin(23+360) = sin (23 - 720) = sin (23 +/- 360n) Where n is an integer
same goes for any other trig function.
with tan we can go one step further
tan is positive in the 1st and third quadrants.
so
\(tan\theta=tan(180+\theta) =tan (360+\theta) \qquad \text{where theta is an acute angle}\\ also\\ tan(180-\theta)=tan(360-\theta) \\ \\this \;means\;that\;\\ \text{We know that }tan60^o=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\\ so\;we \;know\\ atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60\\ \text{but it also equals} \;\;60+180, 60-720,etc, \quad 60+180n\\ atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60\pm180n\\ \text{We only need the plus becasue n is any integer, it can be negative.}\\ atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60+180n\;\;\;degrees\\\)
I hope I haven't made any stupid mistakes

\\this \;means\;that\;\\
\text{We know that }tan60^o=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\\
so\;we \;know\\
atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60\\
\text{but it also equals} \;\;60+180, 60-720,etc, \quad 60+180n\\
atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60\pm180n\\
\text{We only need the plus becasue n is any integer, it can be negative.}\\
atan\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=60+180n\;\;\;degrees\\
