Use this information to solve. When throwing an object, the distance achieved depends on its initial velocity, \(v_{0}\) and the angle above the horizontal at which the object is thrown, \(\theta\) The distance, \(d\), in feet, that describes the range covered is given by $$d=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{16} \sin \theta \cos \theta$$ where \(v_{0}\) is measured in feet per second. You and your friend are throwing a baseball back and forth. If you throw the ball with an initial velocity of \(v_{0}=90\) feet per second, at what angle of elevation, \(\theta,\) to the nearest degree, should you direct your throw so that it can be easily caught by your friend located 170 feet away?
Solve each equation on the interval \([0,2 \pi)\) \(2 \cos ^{3} x+\cos ^{2} x-2 \cos x-1=0\) (Hint: Use factoring by grouping.)
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The most efficient way that I can simplify \(\frac{(\sec x+1)(\sec x-1)}{\sin ^{2} x}\) is to immediately rewrite the expression in terms of cosines and sines.
Determine whether each -statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I solved \(\cos \left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=-1\) by first applying the formula for the cosine of the difference of two angles.
Verify the identity: $$\frac{\sin (x-y)}{\cos x \cos y}+\frac{\sin (y-z)}{\cos y \cos z}+\frac{\sin (z-x)}{\cos z \cos x}=0$$
