Use the identity for \(\cos ^{2} x\) to graph one period of \(y=\cos ^{2} x\)
Use a right triangle to write each expression as an algebraic expression. Assume that \(x\) is positive and that the given inverse trigonometric function is defined for the expression in \(x\). $$ \tan \left(\cos ^{-1} x\right) $$
Exercises \(127-129\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. In each exercise, let \(\theta\) be an acute angle in a right triangle, as shown in the figure. These exercises require the use of the Pythagorean Theorem. If \(a=1\) and \(b=1,\) find the ratio of the length of the side opposite \(\theta\) to the length of the hypotenuse. Simplify the ratio by rationalizing the denominator.
Graph each pair of functions in the same viewing rectangle. Use your knowledge of the domain and range for the inverse trigonometric function to select an appropriate viewing rectangle. How is the graph of the second equation in cach exercise related to the graph of the first equation? $$ y=\sin ^{-1} x \text { and } y=\sin ^{-1}(x+2)+1 $$
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section.
Solve:
$$-\frac{\pi}{2}
