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 interval \([0,2 \pi)\). $$\frac{\cos x \cot x}{1-\sin x}=3$$
Find the exact values of the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle. $$-\frac{13 \pi}{12}$$
The table shows the average daily high temperatures in Houston \(H\) (in degrees Fahrenheit) for month \(t,\) with \(t=1\) corresponding to January. (Source: National Climatic Data Center) $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text { Month, } t & \text { Houston, } \boldsymbol{H} \\ \hline 1 & 62.3 \\ 2 & 66.5 \\ 3 & 73.3 \\ 4 & 79.1 \\ 5 & 85.5 \\ 6 & 90.7 \\ 7 & 93.6 \\ 8 & 93.5 \\ 9 & 89.3 \\ 10 & 82.0 \\ 11 & 72.0 \\ 12 & 64.6 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ (a) Create a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find a cosine model for the temperatures in Houston. (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the data points and the model for the temperatures in Houston. How well does the model fit the data? (d) What is the overall average daily high temperature in Houston? (e) Use a graphing utility to describe the months during which the average daily high temperature is above \(86^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and below \(86^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\).
