THE UNIT CIRCLE
Let’s think back to Geometry… …and the special right triangles
Now, let’s apply it to the unit circle… What does “unitcircle” really mean? It’s a circle with a radius of 1 unit. What is the equation of the “unitcircle”?
Let’s begin with an easy family… What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the second quadrant…
What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the third quadrant…
What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the fourth quadrant…
Complete the family… . Now, reflect the triangle to the second quadrant.
What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the fourth quadrant.
Let’s look at another “family” Now, reflect the triangle to the second quadrant
What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the third quadrant
What are the coordinates? Now, reflect the triangle to the fourth quadrant
Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at each real number. = y = x
Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at each real number. -2
(0, -1) DNE Does Not Exist Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at each real number. = y = -1 = -1 = x = 0 DNE = 0
So, you think you got it now? Sin Csc Cos Sec Tan Cot -1 -1 Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at each real number.
