In a rectangular coordinate system an angle (the Greek theta) is in standard posi- tionif its vertex is centered at the origin and its initial side coincides with the positive -axis. An angle is positiveif it is generated by a counterclockwise rotation and neg- ativeif it is generated by a clockwise rotation (Figure 1b–c).
Radian Measure of Angles
We can express the magnitude of an angle in either degrees or radians. In calculus, how- ever, we prefer to use the radian measure of an angle because it simplifies our work.

For convenience we often work with the unit circle, that is, the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin. On the unit circle, an angle of 1 radian is subtended by an arc of length 1 (see Figure 3). To specify the units of measure for the angle in Figure 3, we write radian or . By convention, if the unit of measure is not specifi- cally stated, we assume that it is radians.
Since the circumference of the unit circle is and the central angle subtended by one complete revolution is 360°, we see that

An angle may be greater than rad. For example, an angle of rad is gener- ated by rotating a ray in a counterclockwise direction through one and a half revolu- tions (Figure 5a). Similarly, an angle of radians is generated by rotating a ray in a clockwise direction through one and a quarter revolutions (Figure 5b).

The sign of a trigonometric function of an angle is determined by the quadrant in which the terminal side of lies. Figure 9 shows a helpful way of remembering the functions that are positive in each quadrant. The signs of the other functions are easy to remember, since they are all negative.

The next example illustrates how we find the trigonometric functions of an angle.
EXAMPLE 4 Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of .
Solution We first determine the reference angle for the given angle. As is indicated in Figure 11, the reference angle is , or 45°. Since
and the sine is negative in Quadrant III, we conclude that . Sim- ilarly, since and the cosine is negative in Quadrant III, we conclude
that . Finally, since and the tangent is positive in
Quadrant III, we conclude that .
The values of the trigonometric functions that we found in Example 4 are exact.
The approximate value of any trigonometric function can be found by using a calcu- lator. If you use a calculator, be sure to set the mode correctly. For example, to find

Graphs of the Trigonometric Functions
Referring once again to the unit circle, which is reproduced in Figure 12, we see that an angle of rad corresponds to one complete revolution on the unit circle. Since is the point where the terminal side of intersects the unit cir- cle, we see that the values of sinuand cosurepeat themselves in subsequent revolutions.

BARTHOLOMEO PITISCUS (1561–1613)
Mathematician Bartholomeo Pitiscus was born in Grunberg, Silesia (now Zielona Gora, Poland), and died on July 2, 1613, in Heidelberg, Germany; beyond this, not much is known of his childhood or of his mathematical education. What is known is that in 1595, when Pitiscus titled his book Trigonometria: sive de solutione triangulo- rum tractatus brevis et perspicuus, he introduced the term trigonometry—a term that would become the recognized name for an entire area of mathematics. His book is divided into three parts, including chapters on plane and spherical geometry, tables for all six of the trigonometric func- tions, and problems in geodesy, the scien- tific discipline that deals with the measure- ment and representation of the earth.

The Trigonometric Identities
By comparing the angles and in Figure 17, we see that the points and have the same -coordinates and that their -coordinates differ only in sign. Thus,
(8) and
(9) We conclude that the cosine function is even and the sine function is odd. Similarly, we can show that the cosecant, tangent, and cotangent functions are odd, while the secant function is even. These results are also confirmed by the symmetry of the graph of each function (see Figure 13).
Equations such as Equations (8) and (9) that express a relationship between trigono- metric functions are called trigonometric identities.Each identity holds true for every value of in the domain of the specified trigonometric functions.
Referring once again to the point on the unit circle (see Figure 7), we see that the equation can also be written in the form
