If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (should be able to scroll to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.

### Section 1-3 : Trig Functions

Determine the exact value of each of the following without using a calculator.

Note that the point of these problems is not really to learn how to find the value of trig functions but instead to get you comfortable with the unit circle since that is a very important skill that will be needed in solving trig equations.

2. $$\displaystyle \sin \left( { - \frac{{4\pi }}{3}} \right)$$ Solution
3. $$\displaystyle \sin \left( {\frac{{7\pi }}{4}} \right)$$ Solution
4. $$\displaystyle \cos \left( { - \frac{{2\pi }}{3}} \right)$$ Solution
