What is the equation of a unit circle?

A unit circle is formed with its center at the point (0, 0), which is the origin of the coordinate axes. and a radius of 1 unit. Hence the equation of the unit circle is (x - 0) 2 + (y - 0) 2 = 1 2. This is simplified to obtain the equation of a unit circle. Here for the unit circle, the center lies at (0,0) and the radius is 1 unit.

What are the coordinates of a unit circle?

Any point on the unit circle has coordinates (x, y), which are equal to the trigonometric identities of (cosθ, sinθ). For any values of θ made by the radius line with the positive x-axis, the coordinates of the endpoint of the radius represent the cosine and the sine of the θ values.

What is a point on a unit circle called?

In the concept of trigononmetric functions, a point on the unit circle is defined as (cos0,sin0) [note - 0 is theta i.e angle from positive x-axis] as a substitute for (x,y). This is true only for first quadrant. how can anyone extend it to the other quadrants? i need a clear explanation...
