The Unit Circle
Terminal Points on the Unit Circle
Let t be an arbitrary real number.
The terminal point corresponding to the number t on the unitcircle is given by the following procedure:
If t = 0 then the corresponding terminal point is (1, 0).
If t > 0 then we take the endpoint of the (possiblyself-overlapping) arc starting at (1, 0) of length t along thecircumference of the unit circle in positive (counterclockwise)direction.
If t < 0 then we take the endpoint of the (possiblyself-overlapping) arc starting at (1, 0) of length |t| along thecircumference of the unit circle in negative (clockwise)direction.
Remark. The notion of terminal point is similar to the notion ofterminal direction for angles.

Example. Find the terminal points for
t = π, t =π
2, t = −3π.
Solution. First of all, the unit circle has a perimeter of 2π.
The terminal point for t = π is (−1, 0) since π is exactly thehalf of the perimeter.
The terminal point for t = π2 is (0, 1) since π
2 is one-fourth ofthe total length.
The terminal point for t = −3π is (−1, 0) since we have tomeasure a distance of one and a half of the total perimeter inthe negative direction on the circumference.

The Reference Number
The reference number t̄ associated with a real number t is theshortest distance along the circumference of the unit circle betweenthe terminal point determined by t and the x-axis.
This is the analogue of the reference angle.
Examples.
The reference number of π is 0 since the terminal point(−1, 0) is on the x-axis.
The reference number of π2 is π
2 since the distance of itsterminal point (0, 1) from the x-axis is π
2 along the unit circle.
The reference number of 2π3 is π
3 since the distance of itsterminal point from the x-axis is 2π

How to find terminal points using reference numbers?
Suppose that t is a given real number.
1 Find the reference number corresponding to t̄.
2 Find the terminal point determined by the reference number t̄of the form (a, b).
3 The terminal point determined by t is of the form (±a,±b)where the signs are fixed by the quadrant of the terminalpoint of t.

4π, t =
7π
6, t = −π
4.
Solution.For t = 2π
3 , the reference number is t̄ = π3 .
The terminal point of t̄ is(
12 ,√
32
).
The terminal point of t lies in the second quadrant therefore thesigns of the x-coordinate and the y -coordinate are negative andpositive respectively.
So the terminal point of t = 2π3 is
(−1

For t = 3π4 , the reference number is t̄ = π
4 .
The terminal point of t̄ is(

Reminder.A function f is said to be even if
f (−x) = f (x)
for all x in its domain. A function f is said to be odd if
f (−x) = −f (x)
for all x in its domain.

Example. Express sin t in terms of cos t where t is chosen fromthe fourth quadrant.
Solution. In the fourth quadrant, the sine function is negative.Using the basic Pythagorean identity we get
sin2 t + cos2 t = 1
sin2 t = 1− cos2 t
sin t = ±√
1− cos2 t
Since sin t is negative in the fourth quadrant and the square root isnon-negative we have
sin t = −√
1− cos2 t.
Remark. If t is in the third quadrant, for example, then the + signis valid.

A function f is said to be periodic if there is a number p such that
f (t + p) = f (t)
for all t. The least such positive p (if this exists) is called theperiod of f .
Periodicity of sin and cos
The sine and cosine functions are periodic and their period is 2π:
sin(t + 2π) = sin t cos(t + 2π) = cos t.
This fact is very important: it is enough to find the shape of theirgraphs in the interval between 0 and 2π and then ’make copies’.
