Think About It. Explain why the equation is not an identity and find one value of the variable for which the equation is not true. $$1+\tan \theta=\sec \theta$$
Mach Number The Mach number \(M\) of a supersonic airplane is the ratio of its speed to the speed of sound. When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane. The Mach number is related to the apex angle \(\theta\) of the cone by \(\sin (\theta / 2)=1 / M .\) (a) Use a half-angle formula to rewrite the equation in terms of cos \(\theta\) . (b) Find the angle \(\theta\) that corresponds to a Mach number of \(1 .\) (c) Find the angle \(\theta\) that corresponds to a Mach number of \(4.5 .\) (d) The speed of sound is about 760 miles per hour. Determine the speed of an object with the Mach numbers from parts (b) and (c).
Verifying a Trigonometric ldentity, verify the identity. $$ \csc 2 \theta=\frac{\csc \theta}{2 \cos \theta} $$
Evaluating Functions lnvolving Double Angles In Exercises \(21-24\) , find the exact values of \(\sin 2 u, \cos 2 u\) and tan 2\(u\) using the double-angle formulas. $$\cos u=-4 / 5, \quad \pi / 2
Solving a Trigonometric Equation, find all solutions of the equation in the interval\(0,2 \pi\) ). Use a graphing utility to graph the equation and verify the solutions. $$\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin x=0$$
