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. $$d=9 \cos \frac{6 \pi}{5} t$$
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) \(x \rightarrow\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{-}\) $$f(x)=\sec x$$
The numbers of hours \(H\) of daylight in Denver, Colorado, on the 15 th of each month are: \(1(9.67), 2(10.72), \quad 3(11.92), \quad 4(13.25)\) \(5(14.37), \quad 6(14.97), \quad 7(14.72), \quad 8(13.77), \quad 9(12.48)\) \(10(11.18), \quad 11(10.00), \quad 12(9.38) . \quad\) The month is represented by \(t,\) with \(t=1\) corresponding to January. A model for the data is \(H(t)=12.13+2.77 \sin \left(\frac{\pi t}{6}-1.60\right)\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the data points and the model in the same viewing window. (b) What is the period of the model? Is it what you expected? Explain. (c) What is the amplitude of the model? What does it represent in the context of the problem? Explain.
Graph the functions \(f\) and \(g .\) Use the graphs to make a conjecture about the relationship between the functions. $$f(x)=\sin ^{2} x, \quad g(x)=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 x)$$
Consider the function \(f(x)=x-\cos x\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function and verify that there exists a zero between 0 and \(1 .\) Use the graph to approximate the zero. (b) Starting with \(x_{0}=1,\) generate a sequence \(x_{1}, x_{2}\) \(x_{3}, \ldots,\) where \(x_{n}=\cos \left(x_{n-1}\right) .\) For example \(x_{0}=1\) \(x_{1}=\cos \left(x_{0}\right)\) \(x_{2}=\cos \left(x_{1}\right)\) \(x_{3}=\cos \left(x_{2}\right)\) What value does the sequence approach?
