Math Problem Statement
locate and mark point in the unit circle for 3PI/2
Solution
On the unit circle, angles are measured in radians, starting from radians (or ) at the positive -axis and increasing counterclockwise.
To locate :
-
Convert to degrees (if needed):
-
Position on the unit circle:
An angle of corresponds to the point on the negative -axis. -
Coordinates:
The coordinates of this point are , because the point is directly down from the origin on the unit circle.
So, the point corresponding to on the unit circle is (0, -1).
