For Exercises \(29-34,\) assume the surface of the earth is a sphere with radius 3963 miles. The latitude of \(a\) point \(P\) on the earth's surface is the angle between the line from the center of the earth to \(P\) and the line from the center of the earth to the point on the equator closest to \(P\), as shown below for latitude \(40^{\circ} .\) Dallas has latitude \(32.8^{\circ}\) north. Find the radius of the circle formed by the points with the same latitude as Dallas.
In Exercises 5-38, find exact expressions for the indicated quantities, given that $$\cos \frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2} \text { and } \sin \frac{\pi}{8}=\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}$$ [These values for \(\cos \frac{\pi}{12}\) and \(\sin \frac{\pi}{8}\) will be derived in Examples 3 and 4 in Section 5.5.] \(\sin \frac{13 \pi}{12}\)
In Exercises 5-38, find exact expressions for the indicated quantities, given that $$\cos \frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2} \text { and } \sin \frac{\pi}{8}=\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}$$ [These values for \(\cos \frac{\pi}{12}\) and \(\sin \frac{\pi}{8}\) will be derived in Examples 3 and 4 in Section 5.5.] \(\cos \left(-\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\)
Given that $$\cos 15^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2} \text { and } \sin 22.5^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}$$ Find exact expressions for the indicated quantities. [These values for \(\cos 15^{\circ}\) and \(\sin 22.5^{\circ}\) will be derived in Examples 3 and 4 in Section 5.5.] \(\sec 15^{\circ}\)
The next two exercises emphasize that \(\cos ^{2} \theta\) does not ?qual \(\cos \left(\theta^{2}\right)\) For \(\theta=5\) radians, evaluate each of the following: (a) \(\cos ^{2} \theta\) (b) \(\cos \left(\theta^{2}\right)\)
