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.

Write a brief paragraph that explains how to quickly compute the trigonometric functions of 30°, 45°, and 60°.
Angular Speed of a Race Car A race car is driven around a circular track at a constant speed of miles per hour. If the diameter of the track is mile, what is the angular speed of the car? Express your answer in revolutions per hour (which is equivalent to laps per hour).
