A unit circle is a circle of radius 1, with its center at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. Having knowledge of the unit circle is helpful in trigonometry, geometry, and pre-calculus. It makes learning some mathematical concepts much easier. Please hold on to this!

Unit Circle Notes Divide everything by 12:

o Degrees: Each angle is 30° (360°/12 = 30° or the right angle divided by 3) Patterns with degrees: since we are adding 30, use multiples of 30 (or 3 then add a zero)

o Radians:

Each angle is

π6

2π12

=π6

⎛⎝⎜

⎞⎠⎟

. To get the following angles, add 1/6 to the previous angle

and reduce or: • First label the right angles: pi/2, pi, 3pi/2, and 2 pi then • pi/6, 2pi/6 (reduce), 3pi/6 (skip), 4pi/6 (reduce), 5pi/6, 6pi/6 (skip), 7pi/6, 8pi/6

(reduce), 9pi/6 (skip), 10pi/6 (reduce), 11pi/6, 12pi/6 (skip) Divide everything by 8:

o Degrees: Each angle is 45° (360°/8 = 45° or the right angle divided by 2)

o Radians:

Each angle is

π4

2π8

=π4

⎛⎝⎜

⎞⎠⎟

. To get the following angles, and 1/4 to the previous angle

and reduce or:

• First label the right angles: pi/2, pi, 3pi/2, and 2 pi then • pi/4, 2pi/4 (skip), 3pi/4, 4pi/4 (skip), 5pi/4, 6pi/4 (skip), 7pi/4 and 8pi/4 (skip)

Points:

• Combine: notice the numerator gets bigger for the y-points in the first quadrant: compare: • Flip everything (points and denominator for the radians) to the left then everything down • Quadrants (+, +), (-, +), (-,-), (+, -)

What patterns do you see with the numerator and denominator of the radians in quadrant 2, 3 or 4? Quadrant 2: numerator is one less than the denominator Quadrant 3: numerator is one more than the denominator Quadrant 4: numerator is one less than twice the denominator Also, use reflections over the x- and y-axis for the denominator
