BQ #2: Unit T Concept Intro

Trig graphs relate to the Unit Circle in the sense if ASTC, they have the same signs that each trig function has according to the Unit Circle. A period for sine and cosine is 2pi because it has to go around the entire thing to complete one period. It has to go around a whole time until it repeats it's pattern again. With a tangent and coltan gent graph, it only has to go half way around before it repeats it's pattern which makes it only pi. The biggest values for a sine and cosine graph is 1 or -1 which sets the boundaries for its amplitude. This is based off of the trig ratios for sine and cosine in the Unit Circle. The ratio for sine is y/r and for cosine it's x/r, with the value of r always equaling to 1.
