Description
A detailed tutorial on the definition of a terminal point. Step by step tutorial including several examples of terminal points for reference.
Overview
A terminal point is just a way of saying the ending point. The terminal point of a line or a figure is the point where it ends. The term terminal point is used often when talking about vectors – they end at the terminal point. The terminal point is referred as the head of the vector.
Description
A detailed tutorial on the definition of an initial point. Step by step tutorial including several examples of initial points for reference.
Overview
An initial point is just a way of saying the starting point. The initial point of a line or a figure is the point where it begin. The term initial point is used often when talking about vectors – they start at the initial point. The initial point is referred as the tail of the vector.
Description
A detailed tutorial on Euclidean vectors. Step by step tutorial including several examples and visual examples of Euclidean vectors for reference.
Overview
A vector is a geometric object that has both a magnitude (also known as the length) and a direction. They are usually drawn as arrows that have a similar starting point and connect two points together. The difference between different kinds of vectors is what coordinate system is used to describe them. Euclidean vectors are vectors that are described by the Cartesian coordinate system.
Description
A detailed tutorial on the intial side of an angle. Step by step tutorial including several examples of the initial side of an angle for reference.
Overview
The initial side of an angle is the side of an angle where the measurement begins. An angle is always measured from the degree of zero to the degree of the angle, regardless of if the angle is positive or negative. The best display of an initial side would be when you draw angles with a protractor – the line that you trace along the bottom of your protractor forms a ray which is known as the initial side.
Description
A detailed tutorial on the terminal side of an angle. Step by step tutorial including several examples of the terminal side of an angle for reference.
Overview
The terminal side of an angle is the side of an angle where the measurement ends. An angle is always measured from the degree of zero to the degree of the angle, regardless of if the angle is positive or negative. The best display of a terminal side would be when you draw angles with a protractor – the line that you draw for your degree forms a ray which is known as the terminal side.
Description
A detailed tutorial on how to find values of quadrantal angles. Step by step tutorial including several examples of finding values of quadrantal angles for reference.
Overview
Quadrantal angles have a terminal side coinciding with a coordinate axis. A trigonometric functional value of such an angle can be determined by the coordinates of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle. When on the unit circle, the Cartesian coordinate (x, y) cooresponds to (cos(&), sin(&)) on the unit circle.
Description
A detailed tutorial on identifying coterminal angles. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to identify coterminal angles for reference.
Overview
Coterminal angles are opposite angles that when put together share a terminal side, or common side, and therefore create a circle. One of the angles is positive, and the other angle is negative – a negative angle is one that is formed from the opposite side and using the second scale on a protractor. The absolute value of the first angle plus the absolute value of the second angle must add up to 360 degrees in order for them to be coterminal angles.
