Chapter 6: Q 108 (page 396)

Is the cosine function even, odd, or neither? Is its graph symmetric? With respect to what?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The cosine function is an evenfunction.

It is symmetrical abouty-axis.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

We have to check that the cosine function is an even function, odd function or neither.

Also we have to check that it is symmetric or not.

If yes, then we also to find that it is symmetric about what.

02

Step 2. To check that Cosine function is even, odd or neither.  

We know that a function is even if f(-x)=f(x)and is odd if f(-x)=-f(x).

We also know that cos-胃=cos胃.

So we can conclude that Cosine function is an even function.

03

Step 3. To check about symmetric 

To check the symmetry of the cosine function we will use graphing utility.

By using graphing utility, we can graph the cosine function as following :-

From the graph we can see that the graph is neither symmetric about x-axis nor origin, but it is symmetric about y-axis.

So we can conclude that cosine function is symmetric about y-axis.

Difference in Time of Sunrise Naples, Florida, is approximately 90 miles due west of Ft. Lauderdale. How much sooner would a person in Ft. Lauderdale first see the rising Sun than a person in Naples? See the hint. [Hint: Consult the figure. When a person at Q sees the first rays of the Sun, a person at P is still in the dark. The person at P sees the first rays after Earth has rotated so that P is at the location Q. Now use the fact that at the latitude of Ft. Lauderdale in 24 hours an arc of length 2蟺3559miles is subtended.]

The domain of the functionf(x)=x+12x+1is _______.

Nautical Miles A nautical mile equals the length of arc subtended by a central angle of 1 minute on a great circle鈥� on the surface of Earth. See the figure. If the radius of Earth is taken as 3960 miles, express 1 nautical mile in terms of ordinary, or statute, miles.

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.
