'Add' corresponds with the bottom left quadrant, or the third quadrant. Therefore, the numerator of the first radian in the second quadrant is 5. For example, to find the numerator of the first radian in the second quadrant, you would subtract 1 from the denominator of the first radian in the first quadrant, or 6-1. It means that in order to get the numerator of each radian in this quadrant, you need to subtract 1 from the denominator of the corresponding radian in the first quadrant. 'Subtract' corresponds with the top left quadrant, or the second quadrant. It means that you'll need to memorize all of the radians in the first quadrant. 'All' corresponds with the top right quadrant in the circle, or the first quadrant. To memorize the unit circle, use the acronym ASAP, which stands for 'All, Subtract, Add, Prime.'
