Question

Find the coordinates of the point (a, b).

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a, b) = (√2/2, √2/2) . . . . . choice C in each case

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on a unit circle will not have coordinate values greater than 1 (eliminates √2). The coordinates will only be 0 or 1 if the point is on one of the axes. The coordinates (a, b) of the point at 45° are ...

  (cos(45°), sin(45°)) = (a, b) = (√2/2, √2/2)
