Limit of Trigonometric Functions

(Chapter 1 – Lesson 3)

Trigonometric functions are used to find for the coordinate of a point in a circle
with the use of the angle. These functions are made through the triangles formed when
the point on the circle, the center, and the horizontal line are connected.
Consider the graph of a unit circle below,
y-axis

P(a,o)

r=1
o
θ x-axis
a

Notes: o stands for opposite side, a is for adjacent side, and r=h for hypotenuse
The Six Basic Trigonometric Functions (in unit circle, r=1)
