Chapter 4: Problem 41

Find the exact value of each trigonometric function. Do not use a calculator. $$\sin \left(-\frac{9 \pi}{4}\right)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The value of \(\sin\left(-\frac{9 \pi}{4}\right)\) equals \(\sqrt{2}/2\)

Step by step solution

01

Convert the angle to positive

The given angle is \(-\frac{9 \pi}{4}\) which is negative. It can be converted into positive by adding \(2\pi\) (which is the same as \(8\pi/4\)) to the given angle, thus obtaining \(-\frac{9 \pi}{4} + \frac{8 \pi}{4} = -\frac{\pi}{4}\)
02

Apply Co-terminal angle concept

In order to find the sin of a negative angle, we use the co-terminal angle concept in trigonometry. The co-terminal of \(-\pi/4\) is \(2\pi - \pi/4 = 7\pi/4\)
03

Find the value of the sine function

We then take the sine of the equivalent positive angle. The sine of \(7\pi/4\) equals \(\sqrt{2}/2\). We use basic knowledge of the sine function and that the sine of \(7\pi/4\) is equal to the sine of \(\pi/4\), which is \(\sqrt{2}/2\)

Use a graphing utility to graph \(y=\sin x\) and \(y=x-\frac{x^{3}}{6}+\frac{x^{5}}{120}\) in a \(\left[-\pi, \pi, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\) by [-2,2,1] viewing rectangle. How do the graphs compare?

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I used the graph of \(y=3 \cos 2 x\) to obtain the graph of \(y=3 \csc 2 x\)

Determine the range of the following functions. Then give a viewing rectangle, or window, that shows two periods of the function's graph. a. \(f(x)=\sec \left(3 x+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\) b. \(g(x)=3 \sec \pi\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
