POINTERS TO REVIEW IN PRECALCULUS
SECOND QUARTER
1. Unit Circle
• Definition
• Standard Equation
• Points on the Unit Circle
Try this: The following are the points on the unit circle EXCEPT
√2 √2 1 1
a. (0, 1) b. (1, 0) c. ( , ) d. ( , )
2 2 2 2
NOTE: Substitute the x and y coordinate of the following points on the standard equation of the
unit circle. If the resulting equation is 1 = 1 (TRUE), the said point is a point on the unit circle,
otherwise, it is not a point on the unit circle. Example: Trying option letter a, 𝑥 = 0 & 𝑦 = 1,
substitute x & y on the standard equation: 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 1 → (0)2 + (1)2 = 1 → 0 + 1 = 1 → 1 =

last page of the test questionnaire)

Note: Your calculator should be in radian mode. Also, disregard the possible values for these
examples, since the obtained calculator value of the following is surely included in the possible
values.
19. Trigonometric equations

Note: Review the given equations on Written Work #5. Your calculator should be in radian mode.
Press 3cos 2𝑥 − 3cos 𝑥 = 0 on calculator in this manner: 𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐬(𝟐(𝒙)) − 𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐬(𝒙).

Note: Review problems about number of hours of daylight problem (make sure your calculator is
in radian mode) & ladder and coconut tree shadow problems (make sure your calculator is in
degree mode).

will.” – Venus Williams
