For Pre Calculus 11, we tackled

four topics for the final term of
the first semester. Namely: Unit
Circle, Circular Functions,
Trigonometric Functions, and
Inverse Trigonometric Functions.
Let us look back to those topics
and reminisce about them!

UNIT CIRCLE
A unit circle is a circle on the Cartesian Plane
that has a radius of 1 unit and is centered at the
origin (0, 0). The unit circle is a powerful tool
that provides us with easier reference when we
work with trigonometric functions and angle
measurements.

CIRCULAR FUNCTIONS
Circular functions are also called trigonometric
functions and can be defined by looking at the
coordinates of the terminal point of the arc on the unit
circle. There are six circular functions. Sine, Cosine,
and Tangent functions are referred to as the basic
circular functions, whereas the Cosecant, Secant,
and Cotangent functions are the reciprocal
functions since they are just the reciprocal of the
basic circular functions.

TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
Trigonometric functions are also known as circular
functions as they can be simply defined as the
functions of an angle of a triangle. It means that the
relationships between the angles and sides of a
triangle are given by functions like sine, cosine,
tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. The
trigonometric functions have two types: the
Conditional and the Identity Equation. A conditional
equation is satisfied by at least one real number and
an identity equation is an equation that is true to all
real numbers and whose both sides are real and
identical numbers. This certain problem of
trigonometric functions has methods that can help
those are the magic hexagon and the hand trick.

INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

The inverse trigonometric functions sin^-1x, cos^-1x, and tan^-1x, are
used to find the unknown measure of an angle.
We denote the inverse function as:
y = sin^-1x
It is read as y is the inverse of sine x and it means y is the real number
angle whose sine value is x.

I really don’t remember

the unit circle! That one
is used for mostly all of
the topics.

Don’t worry, the tip that

we are about to teach you
is all about remembering
the unit circle! Tune in for
the MathTip!

Memorizing The
Unit Circle

First, draw the circle and Split Quadrant I into the five
divide it into four for the most important angles: 0⁰,
quadrants with the basic x 30⁰, 45⁰, 60⁰, and 90⁰. Once
and y values: this is filled up, other
(1, 0), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (0, -1). quadrants would be filled
easier.

because each quadrant has

Once done, copy the upper Since you filled up the unit
part into the lower part like circle, you may just memorize
folding the paper horizontally its radian measures (the
in half. Of course, following folding technique applies
the signs in quadrants. especially to the 3, 4, and 6
denominators).

This marks the end. Math may be most of the

time hard, but hopefully this helped and you
learned something. Thank you and good luck!
