CIRCULAR FUNCTIONS OF
ANGLES
A circular function can be defined in terms of an arc length and the coordinates of
the terminal point of the arc on the unit circle.
Let be angle in the standard position and let the point be a point on the terminal
side of . Then,
y 1 1 The sine, cosine, and tangent
sin θ= = y c scθ= = ; y ≠0
r sin θ y functions are known as the basic
circular functions.
x 1 1
c osθ= =x secθ= = ;x ≠ 0 The cosecant, secant, and
r cos θ x
cotangent functions are called the
y 1 x reciprocal functions because they
t anθ= ; x≠0 c otθ = = ; y≠0 are simply the reciprocal of the
x tan θ y
basic circular functions.
