Key Concepts

Unit Circle

The unit circle is a circle of radius 1 centered at the origin of the coordinate plane. In trigonometry, it serves as a fundamental tool for defining the sine and cosine functions, where any angle drawn from the origin intersects the circle at points whose coordinates (x, y) correspond to the cosine and sine of that angle respectively.

Quadrantal Angles

Quadrantal angles are those angles whose terminal sides lie exactly along one of the coordinate axes. These angles, such as 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, have specific, easily identifiable sine and cosine values because of their alignment with the axes, which simplifies the evaluation of trigonometric functions like tangent.

Tangent Function

The tangent function is defined as the ratio of the sine of an angle to the cosine of the same angle, written as tan? = sin?/cos?. Since the tangent is derived from the unit circle coordinates, its value is directly determined by the x (cosine) and y (sine) coordinates of the angle's corresponding point on the circle.

Coterminal Angles

Coterminal angles are angles that share the same terminal side because they differ by full rotations (multiples of 360°). For instance, an angle of 450° is coterminal with 90° since subtracting 360° yields 90°. This concept is crucial when evaluating trigonometric functions for angles larger than 360° or negative angles.
