I have no clue how to even start number 56...help please?
Anika Gupta

For that one, I started by finding a common denominator for both fractions, so i had ((1+sinx)squared)/1-sinsquaredx))-((1-sinx)squared/1-sinsquaredx)). Then i distributed that and got 1+2sinx+sinsquaredx- (1-2sinx+sinsquaredx)/1-sinsqured x. Then, I combined like terms on the top, which got rid of both ones and both sinsquaredx, leaving me with 4sinx/cossquaredx (since 1-sinsquaredx is equal to cossquaredx). Then i split it apart, so i got four times sin/cos times 1/cos, which is equal to 4tanxsecx.

For 68, I started by taking the 1 in the numerator and replacing with the trig identity cos^2 X + sin ^2 X. After combining the like terms, you get sin^2 X – cos^2 X in the numerator. Then, separate the single fraction into two separate ones: sin^2 X/sinXcosX – cos^2 X/sinXcosX. When you cancel one of the sin’s in the first fraction and one of the cos’s in the second fraction, you get sinX/cosX – cosX/sinX, which equals tan X – cot X. And sorry I couldn’t get 38 either.

For #4 on 7.2 I keep getting 1+root3/1-root3 instead of -2-root3. I used tangent (pi/4+pi/3) and plugged it into the formula, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

Can someone help me with problems 13-19 on 7.2 please? It seems like a review of what I already know, but I just can't remember. I tried the 20 * pi/180 but it didn't work.
Alex masiak
2/3/2011 04:45:39 am
for 13-19 the problems are like the reverse of the problems before that. For example Sin 20 cos 10 + cos 20 sin 10 Goes to Sin (20 + 10) or sin 30 Which is a point on the unit circle. So instead of expanding you're condensing

How do you do numbers 11 and 12 on page 459?
Sohaila Mali
2/6/2011 08:29:26 am
I was a little confused on how to go about solving number 16 from 7.3..If anyone could show me how to set it up that would be great. Thanks :)
Mihir Surati
2/6/2011 02:59:47 pm
For 16, I multiplied 9pi/8 by 2 so that we can then use the half angle formula for tangent. Therefore, theta would now be 9pi/4. Now, you plug 9pi/4, for theta, in the half angle formula for tangent. Then solve exactly like the ones before.

can someone explain to me how they did number 16, i dont get the book explanation

2/7/2011 01:28:37 pm
In 7.5, for the numbers like 45-52...is it really that simply that the answer is the value that is being defined by the trig functions? For for number 45, it will be .54, number 46, 7.4, etc.? Ayo: Is this from what Mihir explained in the comment before yours, or is it the one that we had to do for for 7.5 homework? If you are referring to the one from tonight, then all you have to do is FIRST picture which angle's sine will result in root(2), and once you know that, then just imagine what the csc, or opposite, of that would be. I don't think that's the best explanation...but do you sort of get it?

I just started the third section of 7.6 and I am already super confused on number 42. Do you use the double angle formula? Can you cancel anything? Where can I start?
Anika Gupta
2/10/2011 09:28:04 am
For number 42, i used the double angle formula, and because of the inverse of sign, it can only go from 0-pi. since the cosine is positive, that means that the sin is too. so since its the cos of 4/5 then that means that the sin would be 3/5 because of drawing the triangles and everything. so you plug that in to the formula cossquaredx-sinsquaredx, and you end up with 7/25. i think at least :)

2/10/2011 11:51:07 am
Not only was I having difficuly with number 42, I was wondering if someone could explain number 68... I dont know if you are supposed to do it like the one we did in class or not. I know it is establishing identities but i was confused becasue it is cot^-1e^v = tan^-1e-v and i didnt know what to do with the negative v.

Ok also on last nights homework, we had problems like sec(tan^-1 1/2). I do not understand these types of problems. in the book it gives you an example but when i follow the example it does not help to to get the answer i am looking for. any help?

I actually figued them out except for number 25.
Alex Tazic
2/10/2011 01:31:37 pm
For number 38 you can use the angle addition formula for cos(a-b) and i just thought that since csc is 5/3 that its the same as sin 3/5 so i use that instead of csc in the formula which made it easier, i assumed that csc^-1(5/3) is the same as sin^-1(3/5)

For section 7.7, when finding all the possible values that correlate with the problem with the given domain, then how would you know when to add the "pi"? This is confusing me, because for a number like 13, which is both 3pi/4 AND 7pi/4, how would you do number 15 then? I got 11pi/6, and that is just the only answer.
Shivani D
2/12/2011 01:13:03 pm
I have the same question as Chandan. Since for 15, if you did subtract pi, you would get 5pi/6, which is still in the domain, so it should work...
Shivani D

can someone help with 7.7 #13?
Kelly Mathesius
2/13/2011 01:05:09 pm
for #13 from 7.7, since cos (2x – pi/2) = -1, then inverse cos -1 = 2x – pi/2. using the unit circle, you can determine that inverse cos -1 = pi. if you substitute this in, then you get pi = 2x – pi/2. Add pi/2 to each side: 2x = 3pi/2. Then divide each side by 2: x = 3pi/4.
sohaila m
2/13/2011 01:09:43 pm
in section 7.7 i understand how to get pi/2 as an answer...but i am not sure how they got 7pi/6 and 11pi/6 as solutions too.

ok i'm not sure whether or not we're allowed to do this, but for number one 1 on Form D of the quiz, does anyone know how to do it? every way i do it i get like 2x((1-x^2)^.5)=1...
Shivani D
2/14/2011 12:35:31 pm
I'm also not sure if this is allowed, so if not, feel free to disregard! But for number 1 on form c, is the question wrong? As no matter how many ways I try, I can't get the left side to equal 1.
Ayo Adewole
2/14/2011 01:31:01 pm
i have form a shivani! but i think it might be the same problem, theres no way to make it work. i was having the same problem and i went to the ARC center, and the teachers there told me either it has to equal a -1 or it has to be an addition problem. so im pretty sure its a typo

Chandan i agree with you for the sin(4x) however for sin(6x) i would make it sin(2x + 4x) and then when you would expand to make it sin2xcos4x + cos2xsin4x epand the cos4x and sin4x as you said. In the end sin6x should look like this:

Does anyone get how to do number 48 on the chapter review section? Also, i would really appreciate it if someone could help me with 72, 94, and 98. Thanks.
Chandan Yashraj
2/16/2011 09:26:16 am
I am currently on number 39 for extra practice...and am confused as to how you would go about solving that. The way that I would do it is use the half-angle formula based off of the pi/4...because half of that is pi/8. is this the right way?
Chandan Yashraj
2/16/2011 09:29:32 am
I have another question: can someone properly explain how to solve tan^-1(tan4pi/7)...? We did this in class, but I got lost and the bell rang.
Chandan Yashraj
2/16/2011 09:36:27 am
Alex: Maybe you are making the problem too hard...for number 48 it's asking for csc(alpha)=2, and this is nothing else than sin(alpha)=1/2, and same for the sec(beta), where cos(beta)=-1/3. Then you solve accordingly.
Chandan Yashraj
2/16/2011 09:42:14 am
Another question: On number 55 from the math review at the end of the chapter , for the question that asks cos^-1(-root3/2), how is the answer inly 5pi/6...and not 7pi/6...?? I am getting confused on these problems.
Alyssa Pezan
2/16/2011 09:42:43 am
Chandan: First you start with figuring out what the tangent of 4pi/7 is. Since this is not on the unit circle, you will normally need to use a calculator. But since you will be taking the inverse tangent, you will end up with 4pi/7.
Chandan Yashraj
2/16/2011 09:44:01 am
Same goes for number 53 in the same section...how is is pi/4 and not 5pi/4 as well...? The tangent of both is 1...please help!

For #15 on the review basically you start with the left side.
Mihir Surati
2/16/2011 12:19:20 pm
Anika, is the 33b supposed to be just a 33 because i don't see a "b" in the review section. Anyways, if you want to solve 33, you have to use the sine half angle formula. You do this by multiplying the 165 by 2. Therefore, by doing this, you will be able to say that sin (330/2). Then just look up the sin double angle formula and plug in 330 for x or theta.

Muhammed Alikhan
2/16/2011 08:43:46 pm
Connor, for 97 it says you can use a calculator, so I guess you don't have to manipulate either side of the equation at all. I would just graph each as Y1 and Y2, then find the point(s) of intersection.
