answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Trigonometric functions are sometimes called circular functions. This is because the two fundamental trigonometric functions – the sine and the cosine – are defined as the coordinates of a point  P  travelling around on the unit circle of radius  1 .

As  P  moves around the circle of radius  1, the input variable – the angle  q  – changes. The outputs – cos(q) and sin(q) – give the  x  and  y  coordinates of  P, respectively.
