Find the coordinates of the point on the unit circle where the angle is $frac{3pi}{4}$ radians.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Emma Johnson

To find the coordinates of the point on the unit circle where the angle is $\frac{3\pi}{4}$ radians, we use the unit circle definition:

The coordinates are given by:

$ (\cos\theta, \sin\theta) $

For $ \theta = \frac{3\pi}{4} $:

$ \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

Therefore, the coordinates are:

$ \left( -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $

To find the coordinates of the point on the unit circle where the angle is $frac{3pi}{4}$ radians, we use the unit circle definition:

The coordinates are $ (cos heta, sin heta) $.

For $ heta = frac{3pi}{4} $:

$ cosleft(frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ sinleft(frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Thus, the coordinates are:

$ left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $

For the angle $frac{3pi}{4}$ radians on the unit circle:

$ cosleft(frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ sinleft(frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Coordinates: $ left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $
