Evaluating Trig Functions
The Six Basic Trig Functions of Angles
Evaluating Trig Functions given a coordinate and the location of the point
Given:
Point P is located in QIII and the x-coordinate is -¼.
Find
The 6 Trig Functions of Angles.
You are given a coordinate x (not a function) and need to find y.
Use the Circle Formula: x2 + y2 = 1
The reason you are using the Circle Formula is that you are given only the x-coordinate.
The Circle Formula will help you find the y-coordinate.
