Construction of the sin curve
The following animation may help you visualize the construction of
the sin graph.
Recall that for a unit circle x = cos q
and y = sin q,
where q is the
angle counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
Thus the height y of a point on the circle
becomes the height of a point on the graph of y = sin q.
