What to Focus On

  • Positive angles are measured in the anticlockwise direction.
  • Negative angles are measured in the clockwise direction.
  • One radian is the angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius.

  • The unit circle has a radius of 1 and is centered at the origin.
  • Coordinates of a point on the unit circle are (cos θ, sin θ).
  • Sine corresponds to the y-coordinate, cosine to the x-coordinate.

  • Sine and cosine functions have a range of [-1, 1] and period 2π.
  • Tangent function has period π and vertical asymptotes at π/2 + nπ.
  • Cotangent has asymptotes at nπ.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Radians and degrees are interchangeable without conversion.

The value of sinθ or cosθ can be greater than 1 or less than -1.

The period of tanθ is 2π, just like sinθ and cosθ.

Memory Tips

Conversion between degrees and radians

l = rθ formula

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
