Chapter 5: Problem 70

Rewrite each expression in terms of the given function or functions. $$\frac{1}{\sin x \cos x}-\cot x ; \cot x$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(\cot^2 x - \cot x\)

Step by step solution

01

Simplify the First Term

The first term \( \frac{1}{\sin x \cos x} \) can be rewritten using the reciprocal of sine and cosine, which gives \( \frac{1} {\sin x} \times \frac{1} {\cos x} \). Because \( \frac{1} {\sin x} \) equals \( \csc x \) and \( \frac{1} {\cos x} \) equals \( \sec x \), the first term can be simplified as \( \csc x \cdot \sec x \). Substituting cotangent for cosecant and secant, we obtain \( \cot x \cdot \cot x \) or \( \cot^2 x \)
02

Rewrite the Second Term

The second term is already \( \cot x \) and does not need to be rewritten.
03

Combine Both Terms

Combine the simplified first term \( \cot^2 x \) and the second term \( - \cot x \) to get the final answer.

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.I've noticed that for sine, cosine, and tangent, the trig function for the sum of two angles is not equal to that trig function of the first angle plus that trig function of the second angle.

Use a graphing utility to approximate the solutions of each equation in the interval \([0,2 \pi) .\) Round to the nearest hundredth of a radian. $$15 \cos ^{2} x+7 \cos x-2=0$$

Use the appropriate values from Exercise 110 to answer each of the following. a. Is \(\cos \left(2 \cdot 30^{\circ}\right),\) or \(\cos 60^{\circ},\) equal to \(2 \cos 30^{\circ} ?\) b. Is \(\cos \left(2 \cdot 30^{\circ}\right),\) or \(\cos 60^{\circ},\) equal to \(\cos ^{2} 30^{\circ}-\sin ^{2} 30^{\circ} ?\)

A city's tall buildings and narrow streets reduce the amount of sunlight. If \(h\) is the average height of the buildings and \(w\) is the width of the street, the angle of elevation from the street to the top of the buildings is given by the trigonometric equation $$\tan \theta=\frac{h}{w}$$ A value of \(\theta=63^{\circ}\) can result in an \(85 \%\) loss of illumination. Some people experience depression with loss of sunlight. Determine whether such a person should live on a city street that is 80 feet wide with buildings whose heights average 400 feet. Explain your answer and include \(\theta,\) to the nearest degree, in your argument.

Find the exact value of each expression. Do not use a calculator. $$\cos \left[\cos ^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)-\sin ^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\right]$$
