A weight is oscillating on the end of a spring (see figure). The position of the weight relative to the point of equilibrium is given by \(y=\frac{1}{12}(\cos 8 t-3 \sin 8 t),\) where \(y\) is the displacement (in meters) and \(t\) is the time (in seconds). Find the times when the weight is at the point of equilibrium \((y=0)\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 1\).
(a) use a graphing utility to graph the function and approximate the maximum and minimum points on the graph in the interval \([0,2 \pi),\) and (b) solve the trigonometric equation and demonstrate that its solutions are the \(x\) -coordinates of the maximum and minimum points of \(f .\) (Calculus is required to find the trigonometric equation.) Function $$f(x)=\sec x+\tan x-x$$ Trigonometric Equation $$\sec x \tan x+\sec ^{2} x-1=0$$
Find the exact values of the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle. $$\frac{13 \pi}{12}$$
Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle. $$\frac{\tan 45^{\circ}-\tan 30^{\circ}}{1+\tan 45^{\circ} \tan 30^{\circ}}$$
Use a graphing utility to approximate the solutions (to three decimal places) of the equation in the given interval. $$\cos ^{2} x-2 \cos x-1=0, \quad[0, \pi]$$
