Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the terminal point on the unit circle for the given value of :
-
Recognize that the unit circle repeats every . So, we can reduce by finding its equivalent angle within .
-
Divide by to see how many full rotations it represents: This means represents three full rotations around the unit circle.
-
Since three full rotations bring us back to the starting point, is equivalent to radians on the unit circle.
-
The terminal point at radians on the unit circle is .
Therefore, the answer is:
