This video introduces the idea of solving practice problems involving reflections and rotations of the trigonometric functions.

To solve these problems on the unit circle, notice that the x coordinate is equal to the cosine of the angle theta and the y coordinate is equal to the sine of theta. After reflecting or rotating the angle, compare the x and y coordinates of the new point with the original one.
