Expert-verifiedThe unit circle is graphed in the figure below. Use the figure to find the terminal point determined by the real number , with coordinates rounded to one decimal place.
The terminal point determined by the real number , with coordinates rounded to one decimal place .
Starting at the point , if , then is the distance along the unit circle in clockwise direction and if , then is the distance along the unit circle in clockwise direction. Here, is a real number and this distance generates a point on the unit circle. The point obtained in this way is called the terminal point determined by the real number .
Draw the coordinate corresponding to .
Since given point on circle lies in the first quadrant, therefore both -axis and -axis are positive and can be approximated to .
Note that for the given point on the unit circle and where is the terminal point to real number .
Therefore,
And,
Hence, terminal point determined by the real number , with coordinates rounded to one decimal place .
