The Unit Circle: Radian Measures and Coordinates
How to use the unit circle We have seen already cos is the x values of the points Sin is the y values of the points There are 4 other trig functions Tangent (tan) is equal to sin/cos Cosecant (csc) is the inverse of sin Secant (sec) is the inverse of cos Cotangent (cot) is the inverse of tan
Examples sin 60° cos 270° sec 90°
