### Understanding the Geometry of a Circle and Trigonometric Relationships

For the circle defined by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 = r^2 \):

#### Circumference of the Circle:
\[ \text{Circumference} = 2\pi r \]

#### Trigonometric Relationships with Angle \( \theta \):
If \( \theta \) is an angle in standard position, and its terminal ray passes through the point \( P(x, y) \) on the circle, then the trigonometric functions are defined as follows:

\[ \sin \theta = \frac{y}{r} \]
\[ \cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} \]
\[ \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} \]

Additionally, the Pythagorean identity holds:
\[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \]

#### Conversion Between Degrees and Radians:
\[ 180 \text{ degrees} = \pi \text{ radians} \]

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram accompanying the text illustrates the circle with radius \( r \). It contains a coordinate system with horizontal and vertical axes intersecting at the center of the circle. A point \( P(x, y) \) is marked on the circumference of the circle. An angle \( \theta \) is shown in standard position with its vertex at the origin (the center of the circle) and its terminal side passing through point \( P(x, y) \).

The angle \( \theta \) and the radius \( r \) form a right triangle with the x-axis, where:
- \( x \) is the adjacent side,
- \( y \) is the opposite side,
- and \( r \) is the hypotenuse (radius of the circle).

This setup visually supports the trigonometric relationships defined above.

The functions below represent transformations of the function \( f(x) = \cos(x) \). Select the correct transformation represented.

a) \( g(x) = \cos(3x) \)
   [Select]

b) \( h(x) = \cos(x) - 4 \)
   [Select]

c) \( k(x) = 4 \cos(x) \)
   [Select]

*Note: This section should allow the word 'Select' to be interactive dropdown menus from which students can choose the correct transformation types. For instance, the choices could include options such as "Horizontal Stretch," "Vertical Shift Up/Down," "Amplitude Change," and so on, to help students understand the specific type of transformation applied to the function \( f(x) = \cos(x) \).*

In this context:
- \( g(x) = \cos(3x) \) represents a horizontal compression.
- \( h(x) = \cos(x) - 4 \) represents a vertical shift down by 4 units.
- \( k(x) = 4 \cos(x) \) represents a vertical stretch by a factor of 4.
