Math Problem Statement
Find the terminal point P(x, y) on the unit circle determined by the given value of t. t = β 4π 3
Solution
To find the terminal point on the unit circle for , we follow these steps:
-
Identify the reference angle: since rotating by is equivalent to rotating in the opposite (clockwise) direction.
-
Locate the terminal angle: The angle in standard position is in the third quadrant because it is greater than but less than .
-
Calculate coordinates on the unit circle:
- For the unit circle, the coordinates for an angle of are given by:
- Since is in the third quadrant, both and are negative.
-
Compute the exact values:
Thus, the terminal point is:
