Rotating Angles and Unit Circle

The video tutorial explains how to find corresponding points on the unit circle for given angles. It covers sketching angles in standard position, determining where the terminal side intersects the unit circle, and using these points to find trigonometric function values. The tutorial addresses both positive and negative angles, providing examples and calculations for each. It also includes methods for handling complex angles and converting between radians and degrees.

What is the first step in finding a point on the unit circle for a given angle?

• Label the angle on the unit circle.

• Convert the angle to degrees.

• Sketch the angle in standard position.

• Find the sine and cosine of the angle.
