Question 826388: Find the point on the unit circle corresponding to each of the following angles. Note that you may not use trigonometric functions in your answers.
a) t = 15pi/2
b) t = -3pi Answer by jsmallt9(3758) (Show Source):
Figure out where the angle terminates. Since they are multiples of and , you should find that they each terminate on one of the axes.
Since points on the unit circle that are also on an axis have one coordinate that is zero and the other is 1 or -1, all you have to do is figure out which coordinate is zero and whether the other coordinate is 1 or -1. (Drawing a diagram will probably help with this.)
