4.3 – Trig Functions on the Unit Circle Objective: You should be able to find the values of trig functions for any angle.
Example 1: Let (–4, 3) be a point on the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position. Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of θ.
Example 2: Find the exact value. If not defined, write undefined. a. cos π b. tan 450° c. 𝒄𝒐𝒕 𝟕𝝅 𝟐
Example 3: Sketch the angle. Then find its reference angle. –150° b. 𝟑𝝅 𝟒 c. 520º
