This example demonstrates how to generate a cosine function graph from a unit circle. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, Angle, etc., the nature of the cosine function can be dynamically illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a unit circle and select several key angle points such as 30°, 60°, 90°, etc. Connect these points to the center to form chords. Label these angles and show their coordinates at each point. Finally, demonstrate the relationship between the cosine function and the y-axis, i.e., y = cos θ.
