Using the unit circle, it is found that the value of y is given by:

  • [tex]y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}[/tex]

What is the unit circle?

  • The unit circle is a circle centered at the origin with radius 1, hence, it's equation is given by:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = 1[/tex]

At point P, we have that [tex]x = \frac{2}{5}[/tex], and hence, we have to find the value of y.

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^2 + y^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{25} + y^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]y^2 = 1 - \frac{4}{25}[/tex]

[tex]y^2 = \frac{21}{25}[/tex]

[tex]y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{21}{25}}[/tex]

[tex]y = \pm \frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}[/tex]
