Chapter 4: Problem 48

Use the value of the trigonometric function to evaluate the indicated functions. \(\cos t=\frac{4}{5}\) (a) \(\cos (\pi-t)\) (b) \(\cos (t+\pi)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution for \(\cos (\pi-t)\) is -\(\frac{4}{5}\) and the solution for \(\cos (t+\pi)\) is -\(\frac{4}{5}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understand cosine function properties

An even function is symmetrical about the y-axis. The cosine function is an even function because the cosine of an angle equals the cosine of the negative of that angle, or \(\cos (-x) = \cos x\).
02

Solve for \(\cos (\pi-t)\)

Using the property \(\cos (-x) = \cos x\) we can translate \(\cos (\pi-t)\) into \(\cos (t-\pi)\), which then becomes \(\cos t \cdot \cos \pi + \sin t \cdot \sin \pi\). Since the cos t equals to \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(\cos \pi = -1\), and \(\sin \pi = 0\), the expression simplifies to \(\frac{4}{5} \cdot -1 + 0 = -\frac{4}{5}\).
03

Solve for \(\cos (t+\pi)\)

Using the property \(\cos x = -\cos (x+\pi)\) where \(x = t\), we substitute as follows: \(\cos (t+\pi) = -\cos t\). Since we know that \(\cos t = \frac{4}{5}\), the expression simplifies to \(-\frac{4}{5}\).

Sketch the graph of the function. Include two full periods. $$ y=\csc \frac{x}{2} $$

An object weighing \(W\) pounds is suspended from the ceiling by a steel spring (see figure). The weight is pulled downward (positive direction) from its equilibrium position and released. The resulting motion of the weight is described by the function \(y=\frac{1}{2} e^{-t / 4} \cos 4 t, t>0,\) where \(y\) is the distance (in feet) and \(t\) is the time (in seconds). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Describe the behavior of the displacement function for increasing values of time \(t\).
