HELP ME PLEASE ! Which of the following could be points on the unit circle?
The equation for the unit circle is: \[x^2 + y^2 = 1\]Go through each answer choice and plug the coordinates in to this equation. If it is true, the point works.
@vinnv226 They are all decimals ?
do you know how to find the magnitude of the points?
@zzr0ck3r No i don't :(
you need \[\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=1\]
so find the one that matches that
do you understand?
@zzr0ck3r Its A for sure but idk if B or C can also be it
this is just the distance from the point to the origin, we need that distance to be 1 because unit circle has radius 1 distance is given bu \[\sqrt{(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2}\] but x_0 and y_0 are both 0 so we have \[\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\] so you have points that look like (x,y) just plug those into that formula and see if it equals 1
A is wrong
Really I did it with the calculator
So then is it B and D ?
do the math
err I did that wrong but its not A
with a you get\[\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{2}{3}\]
I know A is wrong now but i think B and D are correct am I right
show me....
\[\sqrt{(\frac{4}{3})^2+(\frac{4}{5})^2}=1?\]
