Write a brief paragraph that explains how to quickly compute the trigonometric functions of 30°, 45°, and 60°.
Projectile Motion - An object is propelled upward at an angle between and to the horizontal with an initial
velocity of feet per second from the base of an inclined plane that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. See the
illustration. If air resistance is ignored, the distance R that it travels up the inclined plane as a function of is given by
(a) Find the distance R that the object travels along the inclined plane if the initial velocity is 32 feet per second and
(b) Graph R = Rif the initial velocity is 32 feet per second.
(c) What value of makes R largest?

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.
In Problems 35–58, graph each 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.
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°.
