Determine the coordinates of $\frac{3\pi}{4}$ on the unit circle
The angle \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \) is in the second quadrant of the unit circle. To find its coordinates, we start by noting that the reference angle for \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \) is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \). The coordinates for \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) are \( \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \).
Since \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \) is in the second quadrant, the x-coordinate will be negative, and the y-coordinate will be positive. Therefore:
$$ \text{Coordinates of } \frac{3\pi}{4} = \left( -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $$
