This example demonstrates the graphs of cosine and tangent functions using the unit circle. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometry, unit circle, angles, and coordinate transformations. Construction involves GeoGebra commands such as Point, Rotate, Segment, Angle, Circle, and Vector. Suitable for high school students learning trigonometric basics or for mathematical teaching demonstrations.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a unit circle and demonstrate the cosine and tangent functions by showing angles and their corresponding coordinates. Rotate a point around the origin along the circle, connecting it to the x-axis to form the sine and cosine waves. Include tangent lines and label the angles and transformations to illustrate the trigonometric concepts for high school teaching.
