Answer 8

Also when graphing it on the unit circle, they still represent sin, cos, and tan as in x and y values, but they are able to go outside of the unit circle. THis means that they are greater than 1 and less than -1. Tan, sin, and cos are restricted to -1 and 1.

Answer 9

Don't worry, it's perfectly fine to be having trouble. I remember that I had these exact same problems.
