Understanding the Unit Circle

This video tutorial explains the unit circle, focusing on the upper half and special angles. It covers special right triangles, coordinate patterns, and techniques for memorizing the unit circle. The tutorial also discusses calculating coordinates, converting between radians and degrees, and understanding trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent. Finally, it demonstrates rationalizing denominators in trigonometric functions.
