Key Concepts

Trigonometric Function Definitions

Trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent are defined using the coordinates of points on the unit circle. Specifically, sine is defined as the y-coordinate, cosine as the x-coordinate, and tangent as the ratio y/x. Understanding these definitions is crucial for evaluating trigonometric functions at specific angles.

Quadrantal Angles

Quadrantal angles are the angles that lie on the coordinate axes (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°). These angles are important because their sine and cosine values are often 0, 1, or -1, which simplifies the computation of other trigonometric functions such as tangent.

Unit Circle

The unit circle is a fundamental concept in trigonometry where a circle of radius 1 is used to define the sine and cosine of an angle. By representing angles as positions on the circle, one can easily determine the coordinates (x, y) corresponding to the cosine and sine values respectively, making it a key tool for understanding trigonometric functions.
