    Circular Functions
    The circular functions of real numbers correspond to the
    trigonometric functions of angles measured in radians.
    r
    s =
    x
    y

    (cos s, sin s) = (x, y)


    Circular function values of
    real numbers are obtained in
    the same manner as
    trigonometric function
    values of angles measured in
    radians.

    Approximating Circular Functions
    Example: Find a calculator approximation for each
    circular function value.

    Make sure your calculator is in radians mode!
    (a) cos 1.85 .2756
    (b) cot 1.3209 = (tan 1.3209)

    This angle is in QII, not QIII. To
    find our angle, we need to
    consider the angle with the same
    x-value.
    To find the other angle,
    subtract the first angle from 2.

    Linear and Angular Speed
    Suppose that point P moves at
    a constant speed along a circle
    of radius r. The measure of
    how fast the position of P is
    changing is called linear speed.

    Linear and Angular Speed
    As point P moves along the
    circle, ray OP rotates around
    the origin. The measure of how
    fast POB is changing is called
    angular speed.
    Angular speed, symbolized ,
    is given as
