For the simple harmonic motion described by the trigonometric function, find (a) the maximum displacement, (b) the frequency, (c) the value of \(d\) when \(t=5,\) and (d) the least positive value of \(t\) for which \(d=0 .\) Use a graphing utility to verify your results. $$d=\frac{1}{2} \cos 20 \pi t$$
Write a short paper explaining to a classmate how to evaluate the six trigonometric functions of any angle \(\theta\) in standard position. Include an explanation of reference angles and how to use them, the signs of the functions in each of the four quadrants, and the trigonometric values of common angles. Be sure to include figures or diagrams in your paper.
Fill in the blank. If not possible, state the reason. $$\text { As } x \rightarrow \infty, \text { the value of } \arctan x \rightarrow\text { _____ } .$$
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Use the graph to determine the behavior of the function as \(x \rightarrow c\) (a) \(x \rightarrow\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{+}\) (b) \(x \rightarrow\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{-}\) (c) \(x \rightarrow\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{+}\) (d) \(x \rightarrow\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{-}\) $$f(x)=\sec x$$
Sketch a graph of the function. $$y=2 \arccos x$$
