Graph the function. Be sure to label key points and show at least two cycles. Use the graph to determine the domain and the range of each function.
A __________ __________ is a positive angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle.
Two oceanfront homes are
located 8 miles apart on a straight stretch of beach, each a
distance of 1 mile from a paved path that parallels the ocean.
Sally can jog 8 miles per hour on the paved path, but only 3
miles per hour in the sand on the beach. Because a river flows
directly between the two houses, it is necessary to jog in the
sand to the road, continue on the path, and then jog directly
back in the sand to get from one house to the other. See the
illustration. The time T to get from one house to the other as
a function of the angle shown in the illustration is
(a) Calculate the time T for tan
(b) Describe the path taken.
(c) Explain why must be larger than 14°.
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac,
in Miami, Florida, the number of hours of sunlight on the
summer solstice of 2011 was 13.75, and the number of hours.
(a)
Find a sinusoidal function of the form
that models the data.
of sunlight on the winter solstice was 10.55.
(b)
Use the function found in part (a) to predict the number
of hours of sunlight on April 1, the 91st day of the year.
(c) Draw a graph of the function found in part (a).
(d)
Look up the number of hours of sunlight for April 1
in the Old Farmer’s Almanac, and compare the actual
hours of daylight to the results found in part (b).
In Problems 16–23, find the exact value of each of the remaining trigonometric functions.
