Determine the quadrant of a point on the unit circle given by an angle $ heta $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Thomas Walker

Given an angle $ \theta $, we need to determine in which quadrant the corresponding point on the unit circle lies. The quadrants are determined as follows:

1. If $ 0 \leq \theta < \frac{\pi}{2} $, the point is in the first quadrant.

2. If $ \frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta < \pi $, the point is in the second quadrant.

3. If $ \pi \leq \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2} $, the point is in the third quadrant.

4. If $ \frac{3\pi}{2} \leq \theta < 2\pi $, the point is in the fourth quadrant.

Given an angle $ heta $, we determine its quadrant on the unit circle:

1. For $ 0 leq heta < frac{pi}{2} $, the point lies in the first quadrant.

2. For $ frac{pi}{2} leq heta < pi $, the point lies in the second quadrant.

3. For $ pi leq heta < frac{3pi}{2} $, the point lies in the third quadrant.

4. For $ frac{3pi}{2} leq heta < 2pi $, the point lies in the fourth quadrant.

For a given angle $ heta $:

1. $ 0 leq heta < frac{pi}{2} $: first quadrant.

2. $ frac{pi}{2} leq heta < pi $: second quadrant.

3. $ pi leq heta < frac{3pi}{2} $: third quadrant.

4. $ frac{3pi}{2} leq heta < 2pi $: fourth quadrant.
