Let’s Recall
Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)
In Mathematics, the trigonometric functions refer to the functions of an angle; an essential factor in
studying triangles and modeling periodic phenomena. They are commonly defined as the ratios of two sides
of a right triangle containing the angle and can be equivalently defined as the lengths of various line segments
from a unit circle. More modern definitions express them as infinite series or solutions of certain differential
equations, allowing their extension to positive and negative values and even to complex numbers.
The six trigonometric functions can also be defined in terms of the unit-circle, the circle of radius
one centered at the origin. The unit circle definition provides little in the way of practical calculation; indeed,
it relies on right triangles for most angles.
The trigonometric functions are functions only of the angle q. Therefore, we may choose any radius
we please, and the simplest is a circle of radius 1, the unit-circle.
On the unit circle the functions take a particularly simple form. For example,
y
sin = = y.
