1. If the terminal side of a 330 degree angle intersects a unit circle, what would the coordinates at the point of intersection?
The angle 330° is conterminal with the an angle of -30° in the fourth quadrant.
It forms a triangle with the hypotenuse of 1
X coordinate is equal to the cosine of -30°
Y coordinate is equal to the sine of -30°
So the coordinates are (√3/2, -1/2)
2. Solve for x: 3 + cos 2x = 7/2; only include answers on [0, 2π]
3 + cos 2x = 7/2
Subtract 3 from both sides
Cos 2x = 1/2
Cosine function is positive in st adn 4rt quadrant
So the angles are
π/3 and 5π/3
Now, we go around unit circle twice because our angle is 2x
Adding 2π or 6π/3 to each angle
7π/3 and 11π/3
Divide them by 2
Angles that satisfy the equation are
π/6
5π/6
7π/3
11π/3
3. Verify the following identity by using an angle sum identity: cos (2x) = 1 – 2(sin2x). Hint (2x = x + x)
Using the angle sum formula, cos(x+x) = cosxcosx - sinxsinx = cos2x - sin2x.
cos2x + sin2x = 1,
rearrage it
cos2x = 1 - sin2x.
Putting this in place of cos2x in our expression, we get cos2x = 1-sin2x-sin2x = 1 - 2sin2x
