Thus α = α B The easiest way to find A and B is to use Law of Sines. sin( ) sin( ) sin( ) According to Law of Sines,, where a b c each angle is across from its respective side A Thus, sin( 60) sin( 70) A B sin( 50) 10. Then B = 10 sin(70) sin(50) 1.6, and A = 10sin (60) sin (50) Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = α. Thus α = 35. The easiest way to find C and B is to use Law of Sines. According to Law of Sines, sin( ) sin( ) sin( ), where each angle is across from its a b c respective side. Thus, 6sin (5) sin (35).. sin( 35) 6 sin(10) sin( 5) B C 5 6. Then B = 6 sin(10) sin(35) 10 B C α 9.06, and C = 5. According to Law of Sines, angle is across from its respective side. Thus, sin( A ) sin( ) 5 sin( 65) 6. Thus sin( ) sin( ) sin( ), where each a b c sin( ) 5 sin( 65) 6 and β = sin 1 ( 5 sin(65) ) Recall there are two possible solutions from 0 to ; to find the other 6 solution use symmetry. β could also be = However, when this and the given side are added together, their sum is greater than 180, so cannot be β. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = α. Thus α = α A β

2 Last edited 9/6/17 Again from Law of Sines sin( 65.95) A sin( 9.05) 5, so A = 5sin (65.95) sin (9.05) According to Law of Sines, sin( ) sin( ) sin( ), a b c where each angle is across from its respective side. Thus, sin( A sin 1 ( ) sin( ) 5 5 sin(0) 18 sin( 65) 6. Thus sin( ) 5 sin( 0) 18 and β = ) Whenever solving for angles with the Law of Sines there are two possible solutions. Using symmetry the other solution may be = However, the triangle shown has an obtuse angle β so β = Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = α. Thus α = 3.. Again from Law of Sines sin( 3.) A sin( 0) 18, so A = 18sin (3.) sin (0) 0 A α β Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = β. Thus β = 68. Using sin( 3) sin( 68) sin( 69) Law of Sines,, so a = a 0 c 0sin (3) sin (68) 1.71 and c = 0sin (69) sin (68) Once two sides are found the third side can be found using Law of Cosines. If side c is found first then side a can be found using, a = c + b bccos(α) = (0)(0.13) cos(3) 11. To find the second angle, Law of Sines must be used. According to Law of Sines sin( 119) sin( ), so β = sin 1 ( 1 sin(119)) Whenever the inverse sine function is used there are two solutions. Using symmetry the other solution could be = 159.9, but since that number added to our given angle is more than 180, that is not a possible solution. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = γ. Thus γ = To find the last side either Law of Sines or Law of Cosines can be used. Using Law of Sines, sin(119) sin( 8.10) sin( 3.90), so c = 6 1 c 1sin (3.90) sin (8.10) = 6sin (3.90) sin (119) Using Law of Cosines, c = a + b abcos(γ) = (6)(1) cos(3.90) so c

3 Last edited 9/6/ To find the second angle, Law of Sines must be used. According to Law of Sines, sin( 50) sin( ). However, when solved the quantity inside the inverse sine is greater than 1, which is out of the range of sine, and therefore out of the domain of inverse sine, so it cannot be solved. 15. To find the second angle Law of Sines must be used. According to Law of Sines, sin( 3.1) sin( ), so β = sin 1 (.8 sin(3.1)) 6. or β = = Since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, 180 = γ or 180 = γ. Thus γ = 7.66 or γ = 1.1. To find the last side either Law of sin( 3.1) sin( 6.) sin( 7.66) Sines or Law of Cosines can be used. Using Law of Sines,, c so c = 18.sin (7.66) sin (3.1) =.8sin (7.66) sin (6.) alternate solution where c = The same procedure can be used to find the Using Law of Cosines, c = a + b abcos(γ) = (18.)(.8) cos(7.66) so c Because the givens are an angle and the two sides around it, it is best to use Law of Cosines to find the third side. According to Law of Cosines, a = c + b bccos(α) = (0)(8) cos(60), so A.98. Using Law of Sines, sin( 60) sin( ) sin( ), so β = sin 1 ( 8 sin(60)) Because the angle β in the picture is acute, it is not necessary to.98 find the second solution. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 so 180 = γ and γ = β A γ

4 Last edited 9/6/ In this triangle only sides are given, so Law of Sines cannot be used. According to Law of Cosines: α 0 a = c + b bccos(α) so 11 = (13)(0) cos(α). Then α = cos 1 ( ) (13)(0) 13 β 11 γ To find the next sides Law of Cosines or Law of Sines can be used. Using Law of Cosines, b = c + a accos(β) 0 = (13)(11) cos(β) so β = cos 1 ( ) (13)(11) The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 so 180 = γ and γ = Because the angle corresponds to neither of the given sides it is easiest to first use Law of Cosines to find the third side. According to Law of Cosines, c = a + b abcos(γ) = (.9)(3.13) cos(1.), so c =.07. To find the α or β either Law of Cosines or Law of Sines can be used. Using Law of Sines, sin (1.).07 = sin (α).9, so α = sin 1 (.9 sin(1.).07 ) The inverse sine function gives two solutions so α could also be = However, side b is larger than side c so angle γ must be smaller than β, which could not be true if α = 17.5, so α = The sum of angles in a triangle is 180, so 180 = β and β = Because the angle corresponds to neither of the given sides it is easiest to first use Law of Cosines to find the third side. According to Law of Cosines, a = c + b cbcos(α) = (7)(6) cos(10), so a = Either Law of Cosines or Law of Sines can be used to find β and γ. Using Law of Cosines, b = c + a accos(β) 6 = (7)(11.7) cos(β), so β = cos 1 ( ) 7.6. The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 so 180 = (7)(11.7) 10 + γ, and γ = 3.5.

It is important to draw a picture of the triangle to figure out which angles and sides need to be found h θ b = 3 With the orientation chosen the base is 3. Because the height makes a right triangle inside of the original triangle, all that needs to be found is one angle to find the height, using trig. Either side of the triangle can be used. According to Law of Cosines 1 = (18)(3)cos (θ) so, θ = cos 1 ( ) Using this angle, h = sin (38.06) , so A = (18)(3) Because the angle corresponds to neither of the given sides it is easiest to first use Law of Cosines, to find the third side. According to Law of Cosines d = (800)(900)cos(70) where d is the distance across the lake. 800 ft ft d = ft 9. To completely understand the situation it is important to first draw a new triangle, where ds is the distance from the boat to the shore and da is the distance from station A to the boat. A B d A d s ft

6 Last edited 9/6/17 Since the only side length given does not have a corresponding angle given, the corresponding angle (θ) must first be found. The sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180, so 180 = θ, and θ = 50. Knowing this angle allows us to use Law of Sines to find da. According to Law of Sines sin (60) 500sin (60) d d A = 565.6ft. A sin (50) sin (50) 500 = To find ds, trigonometry of the left hand right triangle can be used. d A = sin(70)565.6ft ft. 31. The hill can be visualized as a right triangle below the triangle that the wire makes, assuming a line perpendicular to the base of 67 angle is dropped from the top of the tower. Let L be the length of the guy wire m that, λ L 165m φ θ In order to find L using Law of Cosines, the height of the tower, and the angle between the tower and the hill need to be found. To solve using Law of Sines only the angle between 67 the guy wire and the tower, and the angle corresponding with L need to be found. Since finding the angles requires only basic triangle relationships, solving with Law of Sines will be the simpler solution. The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, this rule can be used to find the angle of the hill at the tower location (θ). 180 = θ, so θ = 3.

7 Last edited 9/6/17 θ and the angle between the tower and the hill (φ) are supplementary angles, so θ + φ = 180, thus φ = 157. Using once again the sum of all angles in a triangle, φ λ = 180, so λ = 7. According to Law of Sines, sin (7) 165 sin (157) 165sin (157) =, so L = m. L sin (7) 33. Let L be the length of the wire. The hill can be visualized as a right triangle, assuming that a line perpendicular to the base of the 38 angle is dropped from the top of the tower ft 17 ft L 6 ft θ λ 17 ft 38 Because two sides of the triangle are given, and the last side is what is asked for, it is best to use Law of Cosines. In order to use Law of Cosines, the angle θ corresponding to L needs to be found. In order to find θ the last angle in the right triangle (λ) needs to be found. The sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, so 180 = λ, and λ = 5. λ and θ are suplimentary angles so λ + θ = 180, and θ = 18. According to Law of Cosines, L = (17)(6) cos(18), so L = ft.

8 Last edited 9/6/ Using the relationship between alternate interior angles, the angle at A inside the triangle is 37, and the angle at B inside the triangle is. 37 d km e Let e be the elevation of the plane, and let d be the distance from the plane to point A. To find the last angle (θ), use the sum of angles. 180 = θ, so θ = 99. A B Because there is only one side given, it is best to use Law of Sines to solve for d. According to Law of Sines, sin () d = sin (99) 6.6, so d = 6.6sin () sin (99).6 km. Using the right triangle created by drawing e and trigonometry of that triangle, e can be found. e =.6 sin(37).79 km. 37. Assuming the building is perpendicular with the ground, this situation can be drawn as two triangles. Let h = the height of the building. Let x = the distance from the first measurement to the top of the building. h ft

9 Last edited 9/6/17 In order to find h, we need to first know the length of one of the other sides of the triangle. x can be found using Law of Sines and the triangle on the right. The angle that is adjacent to the angle measuring 50 has a measure of 130, because it is supplementary to the 50 angle. The angle of the top of the right hand triangle measures 11 since all the angles in the triangle have a sum of 180. According to Law of Sines, sin (39) x = sin (11) 300ft, so x = 989.5ft. Finding the value of h only requires trigonometry. h = (989.5 ft)sin(50) ft. 39. Because the given information tells us two sides and information relating to the angle opposite the side we need to find, Law of Cosines must be used. B α A 10 C The angle α is supplementary with the 10 angle, so α = = 170. From the given information, the side lengths can be found: B = 1.5 hours C = hours 680 miles 1 hour 680 miles 1 hour = 100 miles. = 1360 miles. According to Law of Cosines: so A = (100) + (1360 ) (100)(1360 ) cos(170). Solving for A gives A, miles. 1. Visualized, the shape described looks like: 7.9 cm 9. cm.5 cm cm

10 Last edited 9/6/17 Drawing a line from the top right corner to the bottom left corner breaks the shape into two triangles. Let L be the length of the new line. 7.9 cm.5 cm 117 L Because the givens are two sides and one angle, Law of Cosines can be used to find length L. L = (.5)(7.9) cos(117) L=10.7. The equation for the area of a triangle is A = 1 bh. To find the area of the quadrilateral, it can be broken into two separate triangles, with their areas added together..5 cm 7.9 cm 10.7 cm α In order to use trig to find the area of the first triangle, one of the angles adjacent to the base must be found, because that angle will be the angle used in the right triangle to find the height of the right triangle (h). According to Law of Cosines.5 = (10.7)(7.9)cos (α), so α Using trigonometry, h = 7.9sin(1.97).96 cm. So, A 1 = (.96cm)(10.7cm) 15.8 cm. The same procedure can be used to evaluate the Area of the second triangle cm 9. cm β 1.9 cm According to Law of Cosines 10.7 = (9.)(1.9)cos (β), so β 5.78.

11 Last edited 9/6/17 Using trigonometry, h = 9.sin(5.78) 7.68 cm. So, A = (7.68cm)(1.9cm) 9.53 cm. The area of the quadrilateral is the sum of the two triangle areas so, A q = = cm. 1. If all the centers of the circles are connected a triangle forms whose sides can be found using the radii of the circles. Let side A be the side formed from the 6 and 7 radii connected. Let side B be the side formed from the 6 and 8 radii connected. Let side C be the side formed by the 7 and 8 radii connected. B = 1 A = 13 C = 15 In order to find the area of the shaded region we must first find the area of the triangle and the areas of the three circle sections and find their difference. To find the area of the triangle the height must be found using trigonometry and an angle found using Law of Cosines B = 1 α γ h A = 13 β Base = C = 15

12 Last edited 9/6/17 According to Law of Cosines, 13 = (1)(15) cos(α), so α Using trigonometry h = 1 sin(53.13 ) = 11., so A T = (11.)(15) = 8. To find the areas of the circle sections, first find the areas of the whole circles. The three areas are, A 6 = (6) , A 7 = (7) 153.9, and A 8 = (8) To find the Area of the portion of the circle, set up an equation involving ratios. Section Area (As) Circle Area (Ac) Section angle (Ds) = As = (Ac) Ds. Circle Angle (360) 360 The section angles can be found using the original triangle and Law of Cosines. 1 = (13)(15)cos (β), so β The sum of all angles in a triangle has to equal 180, so 180 = α + β + γ = γ, so, γ = Using this information, A s6 = (67.38)(113.10) 360 (53.13)(01.06) , A s7 = (59.9)(153.9) , A s8 = So, the area of the shaded region A f = A T A s6 A s7 A s8 = = Solutions to Exercises 1.

Let s convert 3 + 3i to polar form: 3 + 3i = x + yi. Then x = - 3 and y = 3. Then r = x + y = (-3) + 3 = 18 so r = 3 (since r 0). Also: x = rcos(θ) and y = rsin(θ) -3 = 3 cos(θ) 3 = 3 sin(θ) cos(θ) = 1 = sin(θ) = 1 = Therefore (x, y) is located in the quadrant II, and θ = 3. So ( 3 + 3i)1 = (3 e i3 ) 1 = 3 e i3 8.

The first equation x = t can be substituted into the second equation to get y(x) = x 1, corresponding to graph C. [Note: earlier versions of the textbook contained an error in which the graph was not shown.] 3. Given x(t) = sin(t), y(t) = cos(t): x = sin(t), y = cos(t). We know sin (t) + cos (t) = 1, so x + y (0, ±), so the graph is E. = 1. This is the form of an ellipse containing the points (±, 0) and 5. From the first equation, t = x. Substituting into the second equation, y = 3 (x ) = 3 x + = x + 7, a linear equation through (0, 7) with slope -, so it corresponds to graph F. 7. It appears that x(t) and y(t) are both sinusoidal functions: x(t) = sin(t) + and y(t) = sin(t) + 5. Using the substitution sin(t) = x from the first equation into the second equation, we get y = (x ) + 5 = x + 7, a line with slope -1 and y-intercept 7. Note that since 1 sin(t) 1, x can only range from 1 to 3, and y ranges from to 6, giving us just a portion of the line.

32 Last edited 9/6/17 9. We can identify (x, y) pairs on the graph, as follows: x y 0 0 It appears that this relationship could be described by the equation y = ± x 3, so we can use the parametric equationsx(t) = t and y(t) = t ,1 3,3 3 5,5 x(t) y(t) 11. From the first equation, we get t = 1 (x 1), and since t ranges from - to, x must range from -3 to 5. Substituting into the second equation, we get y = ( 1 (x 1)) = 1 (x 1).

33 Last edited 9/6/ From the first equation, t = 5 x. Substituting into the second equation, y = 8 (5 x) = x, so the Cartesian equation is y = x. 15. From the first equation, t = x 1. Substituting into the second equation, y = 3 (x 1 ). 17. From the first equation, t = ln ( x ). Substituting into the second equation, y = 1 5 ln (x ). 19. From the second equation, t = y. Substituting into the first equation, x = (y )3 y. 1. Note that the second equation can be written as y = (e t ) 3. Then substituting x = e t from the first equation into this new equation, we get y = x From the first equation, cos(t) = x. From the second equation, sin(t) = y 5. Since sin (t) + cos (t) = 1, we get x + y 5 = The simplest solution is to let x(t) = t. Then substituting t for x into the given equation, we get y(t) = 3t Since the given equation is solved for x, the simplest solution is to let y(t) = t. Then substituting t for y into the given equation, we get (t) = 3 log(t) + t. 9. Note that this is an equation for an ellipse passing through points (±, 0) and (0, ±3). We can think of this as the unit circle (cos(t), sin(t)) stretched units horizontally and 3 units vertically, so x(t) = cos(t) and y(t) = 3sin (t). 31. There are several possible answers, two of which are included here. It appears that the given 3 graph is the graph of y = x 3 +, so one possible solution is x(t) = t and y(t) = t +. We could also look at the equation as x = (y ) 3. To parameterize this, we can let x(t) = t 3. We d then need t = y, so y(t) = t

34 Last edited 9/6/ The given graph appears to be the graph of y = (x + 1). One possible solution is to let y(t) = t. We d then need t = x + 1, so x(t) = t Since the Cartesian graph is a line, we can allow both x(t) and y(t) to be linear, i.e. x(t) = m 1 t + b 1 and y(t) = m t + b. When considering x in terms of t, the slope of the line will be m 1 = ( ( 1)) 1 = 3. Note that b 1 is the value of x when t = 0, so b 1 = 1. Then x(t) = 3t 1. Likewise, y(t) will have a slope of m = =, and b = y(0) = 5. Then y(t) = t Since the range of the cosine function is [-1, 1] and the range of x shown is [-, ], we can conclude a =. By an analogous argument, c = 6. then x(t) = cos (bt) and y(t) = 6sin (dt) Since x(0) = cos(b 0) = for any value of b, and y(0) = 6 sin(d 0) = 0 for any value of d, the point (, 0) is where t = 0. If we trace along the graph until we return to this point, the x- coordinate moves from its maximum value of to its minimum of value - and back exactly 3 times, while the y-coordinate only reaches its maximum and minimum value, 6 and -6 respectively, exactly once. This means that the period of y(t) must be 3 times as large as the period of x(t). It doesn t matter what the periods actually are, as long as this ratio is preserved. Recall that b and d have an inverse relation to the period (b = period of x, and similarly for d and y), so d must be one third of b for y to have three times the period of x. So let s let b = 3 and d = 1. Then x(t) = cos (3t) and y(t) = 6sin (t). 39. Since the range of the cosine function is [-1, 1] and the range of x shown is [-, ], we can conclude a =. By an analogous argument, c = 3. then x(t) = cos (bt) and y(t) = 3sin (dt). Since x(0) = cos(b 0) = for any value of b, and y(0) = 3 sin(d 0) = 0 for any value of d, the point (, 0) is where t = 0. From this point, imagine tracing the figure until the whole figure is drawn and we return to this starting point. (Note that in order to do that, when reaching (-, 3) or (-, -3), we must backtrack along the same path.) The x-coordinate moves from its

35 Last edited 9/6/17 maximum value of to its minimum of value - and back twice, while the y-coordinate moves through its maximum and minimum values, 3 and -3 respectively, three times. If we think about compressing the graphs of the standard sine and cosine graphs to increase the period accordingly (as in Chapter 6), we need b = (to change the cosine period from to ) and d = 3 (to change the sine period from to ). Then x(t) = cos (t) and y(t) = 3sin (3t) Since distance = rate time, we can model the horizontal distance at x(t) = 15t. Then t = x 15. Substituting this into the y(t) equation, we get y(x) = 16 ( x 15 ) + 0 ( x 15 ). 3. We ll model the motion around the larger circle, x L (t) and y L (t), and around the smaller circle relative to the position on the larger circle, x S (t) and y S (t), and add the x and y components from each to get our final answer. Since the larger circle has diameter 0, its radius is 0. The motion starts in the center with regard to its horizontal position, at its lowest vertical point, so if we model x L with a sine function and y L with a cosine function, we will not have to find a phase shift for either. If we impose a coordinate system with the origin on the ground directly below the center of the circle, we get x L (t) = 0sin (Bt) and y L (t) = 0 cos(bt) The period of the large arm is 5 seconds, so B = =. Then x period 5 L(t) = 0 sin ( t) and y 5 L(t) = 0 cos ( t) The small arm has radius 8 and period, and also starts at its lowest point, so by similar arguments, x S (t) = 8 sin(t) and y S (t) = 8 cos(t). Adding the coordinates together, we get x(t) = 0 sin ( t) + 8 sin(t) and y(t) = 5 0 cos ( t) 8 cos(t)
