$What is the cosine and sine value of frac{pi}{3} on the flipped unit circle?$

Answer 1

To find the cosine and sine values of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ on the flipped unit circle, we start by recalling the standard unit circle values.

On the standard unit circle,

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

and

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

When flipping the unit circle over the x-axis, the sine value changes its sign:

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

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

To determine the cosine and sine values of $frac{pi}{3}$ on the flipped unit circle, we start from the standard unit circle values:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

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

Because flipping the unit circle over the x-axis only affects the sine value, we get:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

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

For $frac{pi}{3}$ on the flipped unit circle:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

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