Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions of the given angle. If any are not defined, say "not defined." Do not use a calculator.
An angle is in ________ _________ if its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system and its initial side coincides with the positive x-axis.
Two pulleys, one with radius 2 inches and the other with radius 8 inches, are connected by a belt. (See the figure.) If the 2-inch pulley is caused to rotate at 3 revolutions per minute, determine the revolutions per minute of the 8-inch pulley.
Suppose that a fire truck is parked in
front of a building as shown in the figure.

The beacon light on top of the fire truck is located 10 feet from the wall and has a light on each side. If the beacon light rotates 1 revolution every 2 seconds, then a model for determining the distance d, in feet, that the beacon of light is from point A on the wall after t seconds is given by
(a) Graph for
(b) For what values of t is the function undefined? Explain
what this means in terms of the beam of light on the
wall.
(c) Fill in the following table.

From a parking lot, you
want to walk to a house on the beach. The house is located
1500 feet down a paved path that parallels the ocean, which
is 500 feet away. See the illustration. Along the path you can
walk 300 feet per minute, but in the sand on the beach you
can only walk 100 feet per minute.
The time T to get from the parking lot to the beach
house can be expressed as a function of the angle u shown in
the illustration and is
Calculate the time T if you walk directly from the parking lot
to the house.
