Example Question #1 :三角onometric Functions

Rt_triangle_letters

In this figure, if angle $c=90^\circ$ , side X=12 , and side Z=8 , what is the measure of angle?

Possible Answers:

Undefined

$90^\circ$

$\frac{2}{3}^\circ$

$48.2^\circ$

$41.8^\circ$

Correct answer:

$41.8^\circ$

Explanation:

Since $c=90^\circ$ , we know we are working with a right triangle.

That means that $\sin(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$ .

In this problem, that would be:

$\sin(a)=\frac{\text{Z}}{\text{X}}$

Plug in our given values:

$\sin(a)=\frac{8}{12}$

$\sin(a)=\frac{2}{3}$

$a=\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})$

$a=41.8^\circ$

Example Question #1 :三角onometric Functions

If $sin^2x+2cos^2x+3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=3$ , give the value of $cot\ x$ .

Possible Answers:

$cot\ x=1\ or\ cot\ x=2$

$cot\ x=-1\ or\ cot\ x=2$

$cot\ x=2$

$cot\ x=1\ or\ cot\ x=-2$

$cot\ x=1$

Correct answer:

$cot\ x=1\ or\ cot\ x=2$

Explanation:

$sin^2x+2cos^2x+3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=3$

$\Rightarrow sin^2x+(cos^2x+cos^2x)+3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=3$

Use the identity sin^2x+cos^2x=1 .

$\Rightarrow 1+cos^2x+3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=3\Rightarrow cos^2x+3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)=3-1=2$

Now we should divide both sides by sin^2x :

$\Rightarrow \frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x}+\frac{3(sin\ x)(cos\ x)}{sin^2x}=\frac{2}{sin^2x}$

We can use the identity $\frac{1}{sin^2x}=1+cot^2x$ .

$\Rightarrow cot^2x+3cot\ x=2(1+cot^2x)$

$\Rightarrow cot^2x+3cot\ x=2+2cot^2x$

$\Rightarrow 2cot^2x-cot^2x-3cot\ x+2=0$

$\Rightarrow cot^2x-3cot\ x+2=0$

$\Rightarrow (cot\ x-1)(cot\ x-2)=0$

$cot\ x-1=0\Rightarrow cot\ x=1$

$cot\ x-2=0\Rightarrow cot\ x=2$

Example Question #1 :三角onometric Functions

If $sin\ x+\frac{1}{sin\ x}=2$ , find the value of sin^5x+sin^7x .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$sin\ x+\frac{1}{sin\ x}=2\Rightarrow \frac{sin^2x+1}{sin\ x}=2$

$\Rightarrow sin^2x+1=2sin\ x$

$\Rightarrow sin^2x-2sin\ x+1$

$\Rightarrow (sinx-1)^2=0$

$\Rightarrow sin\ x-1=0$

$\Rightarrow sin\ x=1$

Therefore, sin^5x+sin^7x=1^5+1^7=1+1=2 .

Example Question #1 :三角onometric Functions

If $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$ , find the value of $\frac{1+cos\ x}{sin^3x}$ .

Possible Answers:

$4+4\sqrt{3}$

$8+4\sqrt{2}$

$-8+4\sqrt{3}$

$8+4\sqrt{3}$

$8-4\sqrt{3}$

Correct answer:

$8+4\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

$x=\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow \frac{{1+cos\ x}}{}{sin^3x}=\frac{{1+cos\ (\pi/6)}}{sin^3(\pi/6)}=\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{(\frac{1}{2})^3}=4(2+\sqrt{3})=8+4\sqrt{3}$

Example Question #81 :三角onometry

Find the value of the following expression:

$sin^2 (\frac{\pi}{15})+\frac{1}{sec^2(\frac{\pi}{15})}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We know that $sec\ x= \frac{1}{cos\ x}$ .

$sin^2 (\frac{\pi}{15})+\frac{1}{sec^2(\frac{\pi}{15})}=sin^2 (\frac{\pi}{15})+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{cos^2(\frac{\pi}{15})}}=sin^2 (\frac{\pi}{15})+cos^2 (\frac{\pi}{15})=1$

Example Question #1 :三角onometric Functions

If $sec\ x=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$ , give $tan\ x$ :

Possible Answers:

$tan\ x=\pm 3$

$tan\ x=\pm 4$

$tan\ x=\pm \frac{1}{2}$

$tan\ x=\pm 1$

$tan\ x=\pm 2$

Correct answer:

$tan\ x=\pm \frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

We need to use the identity sec^2x=1+tan^2x :

$sec^2x=1+tan^2x\Rightarrow (\frac{\sqrt{5}}2)^2=1+tan^2x$

$\Rightarrow tan^2x=\frac{5}{4}-1\Rightarrow tan^2x=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow tan\ x=\pm \frac{1}{2}$

Report an Error

Example Question #82 :三角onometry

Give the value of $sec\ 26^{\circ} - csc\ 64^{\circ}$ .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We need to use the identity $csc(90^{\circ}-x)=sec\ x$ :

$sec\ 26^{\circ} - csc\ 64^{\circ}=sec\ 26^{\circ} - csc (90-26)^{\circ}=sec\ 26^{\circ} -sec\ 26^{\circ}=0$

Report an Error

Example Question #83 :三角onometry

Find $\frac{cos\ 65^{\circ}}{sin\ 25^{\circ}}$ .

Possible Answers:

$-sin\ 25^{\circ}$

$sin\ 25^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We need to use the identity $cos(90^{\circ}-x)=sin\ x$ :

$\frac{cos\ 65^{\circ}}{sin\ 25^{\circ}}=\frac{cos (90-25)^{\circ}}{sin\ 25^{\circ}}=\frac{sin\ 25^{\circ}}{sin\ 25^{\circ}}=1$

Example Question #2 :三角onometric Functions

If $cos\ x=A$ , give $cos\ 2x$ in terms of.

Possible Answers:

A-1

A^2-1

2A^2-1

A+1

2A^2+1

Correct answer:

2A^2-1

Explanation:

We need to use the identity cos2x=2cos^2x-1 .

cos2x=2cos^2x-1=2A^2-1

Report an Error

Example Question #84 :三角onometry

If $cos\ x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , find $cos\ 2x$ .

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We need to use the identity cos2x=2cos^2x-1 .

$cos2x=2cos^2x-1=2(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^2-1=2(\frac{1}{2})-1=1-1=0$
