Find the sine and cosine values for an angle of pi/4 on the unit circle

To find the sine and cosine values for an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ on the unit circle, we can use the known values of the unit circle.

For an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{4} $:

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

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

Find the exact values of sin and cos for all solutions in the third quadrant for the equation 2*sin(x) + 3*cos(x) = 1

To find the exact values of $\sin(x)$ and $\cos(x)$ for all solutions in the third quadrant for the equation $2\sin(x) + 3\cos(x) = 1$, consider the trigonometric identity:

$$ \sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1 $$

Find the value of tan(7π/6) and explain using the unit circle

To find the value of $ \tan(\frac{7\pi}{6}) $ using the unit circle:

1. Locate the angle $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ on the unit circle. This angle is in the third quadrant.

2. The reference angle for $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

3. In the third quadrant, both sine and cosine are negative. Knowing the coordinates for $\frac{\pi}{6}$ are $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$:

The coordinates for $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ are $(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, -\frac{1}{2})$.

4. Finally, calculate the tangent value:

$$ \tan(\frac{7\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sin(\frac{7\pi}{6})}{\cos(\frac{7\pi}{6})} = \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} $$

Finding the sine, cosine, and tangent of 45 degrees using the unit circle

To find the trigonometric functions of $45^\circ$ using the unit circle, note that $45^\circ$ corresponds to an angle in the first quadrant where both the x and y coordinates are equal.

Since the radius of the unit circle is 1, the coordinates of the point on the circle at $45^\circ$ are $\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$.

Thus:

$$ \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $$

$$ \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $$

$$ \tan(45^\circ) = 1 $$

Determine the cosine of an angle corresponding to the point (1/2, sqrt(3)/2) on the unit circle

To determine the cosine of the angle corresponding to the point $ \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $ on the unit circle, we must recognize the coordinates $(x, y)$ represent $(\cos(\theta), \sin(\theta))$.

In this case, the point is:

$$( \cos(\theta), \sin(\theta) ) = \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)$$

Thus, the cosine of the angle is:

$$ \cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} $$

Find the coordinates of the point at an angle of pi/3 on the unit circle

To find the coordinates of the point at an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ on the unit circle, we use the unit circle definition where the coordinates are given by $ (\cos\theta, \sin\theta) $.

For $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} $, we have:

$$ \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = \frac{1}{2} $$

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

So, the coordinates are:

$$ \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $$

$$ \sin \left( \frac{5\pi}{4} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $$

$$ \cos \left( \frac{5\pi}{4} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $$
