Using calculus, it can be shown that the secant function can be approximated by the polynomial $$\sec x \approx 1+\frac{x^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{5 x^{4}}{4 !}$$ where \(x\) is in radians. Use a graphing utility to graph the secant function and its polynomial approximation in the same viewing window. How do the graphs compare?
Evaluate the expression without using a calculator. $$ \arccos \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) $$
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Include two full periods. $$ y=0.1 \tan \left(\frac{\pi x}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) $$
Evaluate the expression without using a calculator. $$ \arcsin \frac{1}{2} $$
Use a calculator to evaluate the expression. Round your result to two decimal places. $$ \arcsin 0.65 $$
