This example demonstrates the trigonometric functions on the unit circle. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometric functions, unit circle, and vectors. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Circle, and Point, it dynamically shows the graphs of sine, cosine, tangent, etc. Suitable for high school math education and learning.
