tan2(x) + 1 = sec2(x)

tan2(x) + 1 = sec2(x)

sec2(x) = sec2(x)

sin(2x) = 0

x = 0, pi, 2pi, . . .

x = pi/2, 3pi/2, . . .

This river makes up most of the southern border of Watertown.

What is the Charles River?

200

2csc(x)sec(x) = csc(2x)

2csc(x)sec(x) = csc(2x)

1/(2sin(x)cos(x)) = csc(2x)

1/(sin(2x)) = csc(2x)

csc(2x) = csc(2x)

200

cos(2x) - cos(4x) = 0

x = 0, pi/3, 2pi/3, . . .

x = 0, pi, 2pi

200

sin(x) = sqrt(2)/2 and is in quadrant 1, solve tan(x)

tan(x) = 1

200

This is Watertown's zip code.

What is 02472?

300

sin(x + pi/2) = cos(x)

sin(x + pi/2) = cos(x)

sin(x)cos(pi/2) + cos(x)sin(pi/2) = cos(x)

cos(x) = cos(x)

300

6tan(4x) = 24

x = 0.3325

x = 1.1175

300

Solve for the period of y = 2sin(3x - pi/2)

Period = (2pi)/3

cos(pi) + cos(pi/2) = -1

cos(pi) + cos(pi/2) = -1

2cos(3pi/4)cos(pi/4) = -1

-sqrt(2)((sqrt(2))/2) = -1

-2/2 = -1

-1 = -1

400

sqrt((1-cos(x))/2) = (sqrt(2))/2

x = pi/2, 3pi/2, . . .

400

Simplify: (cos2x + sin2x)/(2sinxcosx)

cot(2x)

400

This is the area of Watertown to the nearest mi2.

What is 4 mi2?

tan(2x) = sin(2x)

tan(2x) = sin(2x)

(2tan(x))/(1-tan2(x)) = sin(2x)

(2tan(x))/sec2(x) = sin(2x)

2tan(x)cos2(x) = sin(2x)

2sin(x)cos(x) =sin(2x)

sin(2x) = sin(2x)

500

2sin((x+pi/2)/2)cos((x-pi/2) = 2

x = 1.57 or pi/2
