Find the real part of the complex number $z$ on the unit circle given by $z = e^{i\theta}$ and $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$
We are given the complex number $z$ on the unit circle:
$$z = e^{i\theta}$$
For $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$, we have:
$$z = e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}}$$
By Euler’s formula, $e^{i\theta} = \cos \theta + i \sin \theta$, so:
$$e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}} = \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{4}$$
We know $\cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \sin \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, thus:
$$e^{i\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
Therefore, the real part of $z$ is:
$$\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$$
