Math Problem Statement
For π determine the point on the unit circle to which it corresponds determine cos s and sin s . State which function are not defined
Solution
For , we want to determine the point on the unit circle, as well as and , and state which trigonometric functions are not defined.
Unit Circle Position:
- The angle corresponds to 180 degrees or a half turn around the unit circle.
- The point on the unit circle for is .
and :
- , since cosine corresponds to the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle.
- , since sine corresponds to the y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle.
Undefined Functions:
- The tangent function, , is defined as . Since and , and is defined.
- The cotangent function, , is undefined at because , and division by zero is undefined.
- The secant function, , is defined as .
- The cosecant function, , is undefined because .
Summary:
- Functions not defined at : and
