2-64.

Evaluate each of the following expressions by using special right triangles and the unit circle (give exact values). Compute without a calculator

  1.  

    1. Draw a unit circle and locate the angle. Circle with dashed, horizontal diameter, 5 green points located as follows: on left & right ends of diameter, at center of circle, & 2 points equally spaced, on top half. Blue point on the lower left quarter of the circle.

    2. Draw a right triangle with the base is the x-axis.
    Added: right triangle in fourth quadrant: horizontal leg, on the negative, x axis, hypotenuse, from center of circle to blue point.

    3. Label the side lengths. Labels added: horizontal leg, negative 1 half, vertical leg, negative 1 half times square root of 3.

    4. Choose the y-value for the sine!
