This circle has the centre at the origin and a radius of 1 unit. The point P can move around the circumference of the circle. At point P the \(x\)-coordinate is \(\cos{\theta}\) and the ...

Cosine and sine of an angle θ are defined to be the x and y-coordinates of the point P on the unit circle with the property that the line from O to P makes and angle θ with the positve x-axis. cos(θ) ...

In a function such as sine or cosine, we could also have a translation of the form: \(y = \sin (x - a)^\circ\) where \(a\) is called the phase angle. This is when the graph of the function has been ...
