Exercise 55 Page 449

Each point on the unit circle is given by (cos θ, sin θ).

1 → y=cos θ
2 → y=sin θ
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
In the unit circle, cosine is measured on the horizontal axis and sine on the vertical axis. To determine which of the graph is y=sinθ and y=cos θ, we should consider an angle of 0^(∘) on the unit circle.

As we can see, when the angle is 0^(∘) we have a cosine value of 1 and a sine value of 0. With this information, we can determine which graph is which.

As we can see, 2 corresponds to y=sin θ and 1 corresponds to y=cos θ.
