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?
Find a model for simple harmonic motion satisfying the specified conditions. Displacement \((t=0)\) 3 inches Amplitude 3 inches Period 1.5 seconds
A car's rear windshield wiper rotates \(125^{\circ} .\) The total length of the wiper mechanism is 25 inches and wipes the windshield over a distance of 14 inches. Find the area covered by the wiper.
\(A\) ship is 45 miles east and 30 miles south of port. The captain wants to sail directly to port. What bearing should be taken?
Write the function in terms of the sine function by using the identity $$A \cos \omega t+B \sin \omega t=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}} \sin \left(\omega t+\arctan \frac{A}{B}\right).$$ Use a graphing utility to graph both forms of the function. What does the graph imply? $$f(t)=4 \cos \pi t+3 \sin \pi t$$
