  10. Example: Find the terminal point for 7π/6:

  11. Example: Find the terminal point for 5π/3:

  12. The Unit Circle Given a distance, t, along the unit circle starting from (0, 1) and going counterclockwise (if t is positive) we arrive at a point, P(x, y), called the terminal point. 1 t P(x,y) -1 1 -1
