Circular Functions

This document discusses circular functions and the unit circle. It defines the six trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent) and illustrates how to use the unit circle to find their exact values for special angles through using reference angles. Several examples are provided that show how to find the trigonometric values of angles in different quadrants by first converting them to their reference angle in quadrant I and then determining the x- and y-coordinates on the unit circle.
