Solution

It seems that your question references a specific diagram of a unit circle, but I unfortunately do not have access to images or diagrams. However, I can explain how to determine the coordinates (x, y) for points on the unit circle.

Understanding the Unit Circle

  1. Definition of the Unit Circle: The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin (0,0) in the Cartesian coordinate plane. The equation of the unit circle is given by: x2+y2=1 x^2 + y^2 = 1

  2. Coordinates on the Unit Circle: Points (x, y) on the unit circle represent the cosine and sine of an angle θ, where: x=cos(θ)andy=sin(θ) x = \cos(\theta) \quad \text{and} \quad y = \sin(\theta) Here, Θ is the central angle measured from the positive x-axis.

Determining Coordinates

  1. Identify the Angle: If you know the angle θ corresponding to your desired point on the unit circle, you can directly find the coordinates.

  2. Calculate Cosine and Sine: Substitute the angle into the cosine and sine functions to get the x and y coordinates:

    • x=cos(θ)x = \cos(θ)
    • y=sin(θ)y = \sin(θ)

Conclusion

If you have a specific angle in mind or further information about the location of the point in the circle, please provide it for a more precise answer regarding the coordinates (x, y). Generally, the coordinates can vary, but they will always satisfy the equation of the unit circle (x2+y2=1)(x^2 + y^2 = 1).
