Given a point on the unit circle, find its coordinates and the associated angle in radians, if the $sin( heta) = cos( heta)$.
Answer 1
Given $\sin(\theta) = \cos(\theta)$ for an angle $\theta$ on the unit circle:
We know that for an angle $\theta$ on the unit circle:
$\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$
Let $\sin(\theta) = \cos(\theta) = x$. Then,
$x^2 + x^2 = 1$
$2x^2 = 1$
$x^2 = \frac{1}{2}$
$x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Therefore, $\sin(\theta) = \cos(\theta) = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The coordinates are $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$ and $(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.
For $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, the angle is:
$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + 2n\pi, \text{ for any integer } n$
For $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, the angle is:
$\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4} + 2n\pi, \text{ for any integer } n$
Answer 2
Given $sin( heta) = cos( heta)$ for an angle $ heta$ on the unit circle:
We know that:
$sin( heta) = cos( heta)$
Dividing both sides by $cos( heta)$:
$ an( heta) = 1$
Thus,
$ heta = frac{pi}{4} + kpi, ext{ for any integer } k$
The coordinates are:
For $ heta = frac{pi}{4}$:
$left( frac{1}{sqrt{2}}, frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
ight)$
For $ heta = frac{5pi}{4}$:
$left( -frac{1}{sqrt{2}}, -frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
ight)$
Answer 3
Given $sin( heta) = cos( heta)$ on the unit circle:
We know:
$ an( heta) = 1$
Thus:
$ heta = frac{pi}{4} + kpi, ext{ for any integer } k$
Coordinates:
$left( pm frac{1}{sqrt{2}}, pm frac{1}{sqrt{2}}
ight)$
