Chapter 4: Problem 43

Find the exact value of each trigonometric function. Do not use a calculator. $$\tan \frac{5 \pi}{4}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The exact value of \(\tan(\frac{5 \pi}{4})\) is 1.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Unit circle

The unit circle is a circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system. The angle formed by the positive x-axis and the line connecting the origin to a point P on the circle represents the measure of that angle. In this case, with the angle being \(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\), we are more than halfway around the circle, specifically \(\frac{5}{4}\) turns, which is in the 3rd quadrant of the unit circle.
02

Determine the equivalent angle in the first turn

While \(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\) spins us more than full way around the circle, we are actually ending in the same position as if we only spun \(\frac{1 \pi}{4}\) the way around the circle. The reason is that the trigonometric functions are periodic in nature. This makes our equivalent angle be \(\frac{1 \pi}{4}\).
03

Find the value of the tangent

The tangent is defined as the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate of the point P on the unit circle. In the third quadrant, the sign of the tangent function is positive, as in the first quadrant. The value of \(\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})\) is 1, so the value of \(\tan(\frac{5 \pi}{4})\) is also 1.

Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a viewing rectangle that shows the graph for at least two periods. $$y=\tan 4 x$$

This exercise is intended to provide some fun with biorhythms, regardless of whether you believe they have any validity. We will use each member's chart to determine biorhythmic compatibility. Before meeting, each group member should go online and obtain his or her biorhythm chart. The date of the group meeting is the date on which your chart should begin. Include 12 months in the plot. At the meeting, compare differences and similarities among the intellectual sinusoidal curves. Using these comparisons, each person should find the one other person with whom he or she would be most intellectually compatible.

Use the keys on your calculator or graphing utility for converting an angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds \(\left(D^{\circ} M^{\prime} S^{\prime \prime}\right)\) into decimal form, and vice versa. Convert each angle to \(D^{\circ} M^{\prime} S^{\prime \prime}\) form. Round your answer to the nearest second. $$50.42^{\circ}$$

Use the keys on your calculator or graphing utility for converting an angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds \(\left(D^{\circ} M^{\prime} S^{\prime \prime}\right)\) into decimal form, and vice versa. Convert each angle to a decimal in degrees. Round your answer to two decimal places. $$30^{\circ} 15^{\prime} 10^{\prime \prime}$$

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Using the equation \(y=A \sin B x,\) if I replace either \(A\) or \(B\) with its opposite, the graph of the resulting equation is a reflection of the graph of the original equation about the \(x\) -axis.
