Let circle O be the unit circle centered about the origin. Let (12,√32) be point A, which is on the unit circle. Let θ be the acute angle in standard position whose terminal arm passes through point A.
A.
What is the value of sin(θ)?
- √3
- 1√3
- √32
- 12
B.
What is the value of θ?
- π6
- π3
- π4
- π2
C.
What is the relationship between point A on circle O, its associated angle θ, and the ordered pair (π3,√32) of the function f(x)=sin(x)?
- The angle θ is the first value of the ordered pair, and the y-value of point A is the second value.
- The y-value of point A is the second value of the ordered pair. The first value of the ordered pair is the complement of θ.
- The y-value of point A is the second value of the ordered pair. The first value of the ordered pair is random (it has no relationship to point A or θ).
- There is no relationship.
D.
The following are ordered pairs of the function f(x)=sin(x): (π6,12),(13π6,12),(25π6,12). To which point(s) on the unit circle would these ordered pairs be associated with, according to the relationship in the previous question.
- (√32,12)
- (√32,12),(√22,√22),(12,√32)
- (√32,12),(-√32,12),(-√32,-12)
- (12,√32)
