The equation and definition of unit circle.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
A unit circle is a circle with radius one unit whose centre lies on the origin
The equation of a unit circle is shown below.
Therefore, a unit circle is a circle with radius 1 unit whose equation is

To explain: The term terminal point determined by t with the help of a diagram.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Consider a unit circle with the starting point
Consider a point

To explain: The reference point associated with t.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Let t is a real number.
The reference number
To obtain the reference, it is very important to know the position of t in the quadrant.
If the terminal point lies on first or fourth quadrant, where x is positive then
Thus, the reference number

Answer to Problem 1RCC
The reference number for
Explanation of Solution
The reference point
The reference number for
The reference number is
Since the terminal point determined by t is in fourth quadrant therefore, x coordinate is positive and y coordinate is negative.
Hence the terminal point is
Thus, the reference number for

- [22-R] [CLO 9] Give an equation for the circle with radius5 units, centered at the point (−3, 8).arrow_forwardI need to find the distance of y in the diagram. I've been told that the radius of the circle is 100ft and that the angle theta is 30 degrees. I'm having a hard time setting up my equation. I'm trying to use the pythagorean theorem though I can't find a way to make all of variables in terms of a single variable. Since I know that in a 30-60-90 triangle the hypotuse is equal to 2t, the medium length leg is equal to t(radical 3) and the smallest leg is "t," I've tried setting up the following t=(100+x)/2 for the hypotnuse and t=((14+b)(radical 3))/3 for the meduim length leg. Though, I can't put this into the pythagorean theorem and solve it because I still have two unknown variables. Am I setting the problem up right?arrow_forward(a) The figure shows a telephone wire hanging between two poles at x= -b and x= b. It takes the shape of a catenary with equation y=c+ a cosh(x/a). Find the length of the wire. (b) Suppose two telephone poles are 50 ft apart and the length of the length of the wire between the poles is 51 ft.If the lowest point of the wire must be 20 ft above the ground, how high up on each pole should the wire be attached?arrow_forward
