@nbouscal continue please. Unit circle. Trig.

Parth (parthkohli):

Hi lgba, you're viewing the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Continue on which part? Haha

Parth (parthkohli):

Teach me more trig please. Also draw diagrams.

OpenStudy (callisto):

The unit circle... x and y!!! (Sorry I was lost there :| )

Parth (parthkohli):

If 45deg = (pi rad)/4, then sin45 = sin(pi rad/4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unit circle is one whose radius is one

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm yes I know that @shahzadjalbani

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oK then what do you want to know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so we define \(\cos\theta\) as the \(x\)-coordinate of the unit circle at \(\theta\), and \(\sin\theta\) as the \(y\)-coordinate of the unit circle at \(\theta\). We start \(\theta\) at (1,0)

Parth (parthkohli):

But why not at the origin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you rotate from the origin? You'll just stay at the origin :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me draw, to help explain.

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm, I'm not understanding a thing :P simple
