, where k is an integer.
What are the differences between sine and cosine functions?
Sine: y-coordinate on the unit circle, odd function | Cosine: x-coordinate on the unit circle, even function
What are the differences between positive and negative angles on the unit circle?
Positive angles: Measured counterclockwise | Negative angles: Measured clockwise
What are the differences between radians and degrees?

Compare sin(θ) and cos(θ) at θ = 0.
sin(0) = 0 | cos(0) = 1
Compare sin(θ) and cos(θ) at θ = π/2.
sin(π/2) = 1 | cos(π/2) = 0

Sine: [-1, 1] | Cosine: [-1, 1]
Compare the graphs of y = sin(x) and y = cos(x).
y = sin(x): Starts at (0, 0), odd function | y = cos(x): Starts at (0, 1), even function
Compare the derivatives of sin(x) and cos(x).
Derivative of sin(x): cos(x) | Derivative of cos(x): -sin(x)
Compare the integrals of sin(x) and cos(x).
Integral of sin(x): -cos(x) + C | Integral of cos(x): sin(x) + C
Compare the use of sine and cosine in right triangles.
Sine: Opposite/Hypotenuse | Cosine: Adjacent/Hypotenuse
What is the unit circle?
A circle with a radius of 1, centered at the origin (0,0).
What is an angle in standard position?
An angle that starts from the positive x-axis and goes counterclockwise.
Define 'radians'.
A unit of angular measure equal to the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius.
Define 'terminal ray'.
A line from the origin at a given angle that intersects the unit circle.
Define sine (sin θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The y-coordinate of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
Define cosine (cos θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The x-coordinate of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
Define tangent (tan θ) in the context of the unit circle.
The ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate (sin θ / cos θ) of the point where the terminal ray intersects the unit circle.
What are reflex angles?
Angles greater than 180° but less than 360°.
What is a 'full rotation' in radians?
2π radians.
What is the ASTC rule?
A mnemonic to remember which trig functions are positive in each quadrant: All, Sine, Tangent, Cosine.
