To help you with problem 8-38 from CPM, let's first understand what a unit circle is. A unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin (0,0) in a coordinate plane.
Now let's move on to drawing the diagram for each rider's position on a unit circle. Follow these steps:
1. Draw a circle on a piece of paper and label the center as the origin (0,0).
2. Draw a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis intersecting at the origin.
3. Since each point on the graph represents the position of a rider, use the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of each point as the rider's position on the unit circle.
4. For each rider, locate their point on the graph and mark it on the unit circle accordingly. Label it with a number or letter to indicate the rider.
5. Describe where each rider is based on their position on the unit circle. For example, if a rider's point is on the positive x-axis (1,0), you would say the rider is located at 0 degrees on the unit circle. Similarly, if a rider's point is on the positive y-axis (0,1), they would be located at 90 degrees on the unit circle. Use the quadrants (0-90 degrees, 90-180 degrees, 180-270 degrees, 270-360 degrees) to describe the position accurately.
Remember to refer to the original graph to accurately place the riders' positions on the unit circle.
