How do I memorize the unit circle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago

All you have to do is memorize quadrant 1.  If you memorize quadrant 1, then you can figure out the rest of the unit circle by reasoning through it.  

So starting from the top, 90 degrees, and moving towards the right, down to 0 degrees, you will come across 3 angles, 60 degrees 45 degrees, and 30 degrees.

They follow a pattern:
(√1/2, √3/2)  (60 degrees)
(√2/2, √2/2) (45 degrees)
(√3/2, √1/2) (30 degrees)

Notice the 1,2,3 pattern and the 3,2,1 pattern.  And that each of them is a fraction with a 2 in the denominator.

If you can memorize the above, then the rest of the unit circle is just those values, but they make be positive or negative depending on which quadrant you are in.

If you understand how the x-y coordinates work, then you should be able to figure out the positive or negative aspect of the unit circle. 

For example, in quadrant 1, both x and y are positive.  In quadrant 2, the x is negative and the y is positive.  So if I wanted to know angle 150 degrees.  I recognize it is going to be the same point as the 30 degrees which is (√3/2, √1/2).  But since it is in quadrant 2, the x is negative.  Thus for 150 degrees, the unit circle says (-√3/2, √1/2)

Another example, 315 degrees will have the same point as 45 degrees which is (√2/2, √2/2).  But since it is in quadrant 4, the x is positive and the y is negative.  Thus, the unit circle for 315 degrees is (√2/2, -√2/2)

I hope that helps!

The answer is the number that 't' must be in order for the equation
to be a true statement.

Here's how to find it:

Write                                             t + 8 = 15

Then subtract 8 from each side:  <em>  t      =  7</em>

solniwko [45]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Infiniti sells 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices.

Now, 8 different models of cars with 5 different trim levels have (8 × 5) = 40 choices.

Similarly, with  8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices, there will be total (40 × 5) = 200 options one could choose. ( Answer )

Need help its sector area
Paladinen [302]

Area of sector

=  \frac{30}{360}  \times  \pi \times  {(radius)}^{2}

=  \frac{30}{360}  \times  \ \frac{22}{7}  \times  {(12)}^{2}

=  \frac{30}{360}  \times  \ \frac{22}{7}  \times  12 \times 12

so the area = 37.71 square metre
