Given the point on the unit circle represented by $e^{i\theta}$, we begin by expressing this in terms of its Cartesian coordinates:

\[ e^{i\theta} = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta) \]

When the unit circle is flipped over the real axis, the imaginary part changes sign. Thus, the new coordinates become:

\[ e^{i\theta} \rightarrow \cos(\theta) – i\sin(\theta) \]

Therefore, the new coordinates for the point on the flipped unit circle are:

\[ \boxed{\cos(\theta) – i\sin(\theta)} \]

First, represent the point on the unit circle using Euler’s formula:

[ e^{i heta} = cos( heta) + isin( heta) ]

Flipping the unit circle over the real axis inverts the sign of the imaginary component. The new point is:

[ cos( heta) + i(-sin( heta)) ]

This simplifies to:

[ cos( heta) – isin( heta) ]

So, the coordinates of the new point after flipping are:

[ oxed{cos( heta) – isin( heta)} ]

Start by expressing $e^{i heta}$ in Cartesian form:

[ e^{i heta} = cos( heta) + isin( heta) ]

After flipping over the real axis, the new coordinates are:

[ oxed{cos( heta) – isin( heta)} ]
