    The Unit Circle and Circular

    Functions
    Circular Functions
    A unit circle has its center at the origin and a
    radius of 1 unit.
    The trigonometric functions of
    angle θ in radians are found by
    choosing a point (x, y) on the
    unit circle can be rewritten as
    functions of the arc length s.

    When interpreted this way, they


    are called circular functions.
    Circular Functions
    For any real number s represented by a
    directed arc on the unit circle,

    Since we use the Unit Circle we can replace θ with s (arc length) because r = 1!
    The Unit Circle
    Evaluating A Circular Function
    Circular function values of real numbers are
    obtained in the same manner as
    trigonometric function values of angles
    measured in radians.
    This applies both to methods of finding
    exact values (such as reference angle
    analysis) and to calculator approximations.
    Calculators must be in radian mode
    when finding circular function values.
    FINDING EXACT CIRCULAR FUNCTION VALUES

    Find the exact values of:


    • Evaluating a circular function
    at the real number is equivalent to
    evaluating it at
    radians. • An angle of intersects the circle at the
    point (0, –1).

    Caution
    A common error in trigonometry is
    using a calculator in degree mode
    when radian mode should be used.
    Remember, if you are finding a
    circular function value of a real
    number, the calculator must be in
    radian mode.

    The Trigonometric Functions
    The Trigonometric Functions
    • You can use these coordinates to define the
    six trigonometric functions.

    sine cosine tangent


    cosecant secant cotangent

    These six functions are normally abbreviated sin,


    cos, tan, csc, sec, and cot, respectively.
    The Trigonometric Functions
    The Trigonometric Functions
    • In the definitions of the trigonometric functions, note that the
    tangent and secant are not defined when x = 0.

    For instance, because t =  /2 corresponds to (x, y) = (0, 1), it


    follows that tan( /2) and sec( /2) are undefined.

    Similarly, the cotangent and cosecant are not defined when y = 0.

    For instance, because t = 0 corresponds to (x, y) = (1, 0), cot 0


    and csc 0 are undefined.
    Example 1 – Evaluating Trigonometric Functions

    • Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at


    each real number.

    • Solution:
    • For each t-value, begin by finding the corresponding point (x,
    y) on the unit circle. Then use the definitions of trigonometric
    functions.
    Evaluate the six trigonometric functions at each real
    number.

    Example1(a) – Solution cont’d

    • t = /6 corresponds to the point


    Example1(b) – Solution cont’d

    t = 5/4 corresponds to the point


    Example1(c) – Solution cont’d

    t =  corresponds to the point (x, y) = (–1, 0).
