convert 135o to radians. Give your answer in terms of pi

(3pi)/4

100

The point (-4/5, -3/5) lies on the unit circle. Find the value of secx

secx = 1/cosx = 1/(x value on unit circle) = -5/4 or -1.25

100

Period of sinx

2pi

100

range of y = 4sin(x - 90o)

-4<=y<=4

100

In which quadrants is cosecant (csc) positive?

Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 (same place sin is positive)

200

Angle of

(16pi)/3

Find a coterminal angle between 0 and 

2pi

(4pi)/3

200

a. sin21 = a/13 --> 4.7

b. cos21 = b/13 --> 12.1

200

Range of secx

y <=-1 uu y >=1

200

give three asymptotes of y = cot(x/2)

... ,-4pi, -2pi, 0, 2pi, 4pi, 6pi, ...

200

Which quadrant has cosx < 0 and cotx > 0?

Quadrant 3

300

Find the reference angle for 

(16pi)/3

pi/3

300

The angle of elevation to the top of a building from a point on the ground 30 yards from its base is 37°. Find the height of the building to the nearest yard.

tan37 = x/30 --> x = 22.607 = 23 yards

300

Asymptotes between -2pi and 2pi for tanx

-3pi/2, -pi/2, pi/2, 3pi/2

300

Range of y = 5tan(3x - pi/6) + 4

All real numbers

If cos u = 1/3 and tan u < 0, find the value of u in degrees. Round to two decimal places

cos-1(1/3) = 70.53o but tan < 0 so should be in quadrant 4.

reference angle 70.53o

actual angle u = 360 - 70.53 = 289.47o

400

Find the arc length: Circle with radius of 20 feet. Central angle of 75o. Round to two decimal places if needed. 

1. convert 75o to radians

2. s =

r*theta = (5pi)/12 * 20

 

Answer: 26.18 feet

400

A 73-foot rope from the top of a circus tent pole is anchored to the flat ground 43 feet from the bottom of the pole. Find the angle, to the nearest tenth of a degree, that the rope makes with the pole.

in your drawing, looking for the top angle not the bottom angle.

sinx = 43/73 --> sin-1(43/73) = x --> x = 36.1o

400

What's the difference between tanx and cotx graphs?

tanx goes up, cotx goes down.

tanx goes through (0,0). cotx has an asymptote at x = 0

400

Write a sin equation for the graph below

y = -2sin(x-pi/3)-1

400

If cotx = -3 and sinx > 0, then secx = ?. Round to two decimal places

cotx < 0 and sinx>0 means x is in quadrant 2 and secx < 0

cotx = -3 --> tanx = -1/3 --> tan-1(-1/3) =-18.43o

Reference angle = 18.43.

sec(18.43) 1/cos(18.43) = 1.05 but said in quadrant 2, secx is negative 

final answer: - 1.05


500

If (-2, 5) is a point on the terminal side of angle u, find the exact value of csc(u).

radius = 

sqrt(29)

csc(u) =

1/sin(u)

 =

sqrt(29)/5 

500

What's the difference between secx and cscx graphs?

cscx has an asymptote at x = 0.

secx has a y-intercept at x = 0 (y = 1)

500

Write a sec equation for the graph below 

y = sec(3x) - 2
