1 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Bonus Section II 260 Bonus Section II: Solving Trigonometric Equations (In your text this section is found hiding at the end of 9.6) For what values of x does sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1? sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 is true for sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 is called a trigonometric. sin x = 3 is not always a true statement. Our first task is to determine the values of x that 2 make it a true statement. That is what is considered solving the equation. 1. Solve sin x = 3 2 number of solutions. Looking at the graph, we can see that this equation has an infinite We could make a list of all of the solutions: But the common practice is to name all of the solutions by using a parameter. It is unfortunate that WebAssign uses the parameter k. This is NOT the same k we used in 8C to discuss the period of a trigonometric function.

10 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2016 Section Introduction to Functions (The Difference Quotient and Word Problems) We have been studying functions all semester, now it is time to complete this section where the important concept of difference quotient is introduced. Average Rate of Change Assume that the function represented by this graph is a position function. The horizontal axis is time given in seconds. The vertical axis is distance an object has moved from the starting point given in feet. It will be helpful to remember that d = rt so r = What is the position of the object at t = 0? What is the position of the object at t = 4? How far did the object move during those 4 seconds? What is the average speed of the object during those 4 seconds? What is the position of the object at t = 8? How far did the object move during those 8 seconds? What is the average speed of the object during those 8 seconds? How far did the object move between t = 4 and t = 8 What is the average speed of the object during those 4 seconds? Connect the points on the graph for t = 4 and t = 8. What is the slope of that line segment? The slope of the secant line for a position function is

11 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2016 Section How might you go about calculating an estimate for the instantaneous velocity at a point, say at t=4? You might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=5. Or better, you might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=4.5. Or better yet, you might calculate the average velocity between t=4 and t=4.1 The smaller the interval of time, the closer the average velocity will be to instantaneous velocity. Here we have the graph of some function f (x) Choose a general point (x, f (x)) on the graph. Let h > 0 be some teeny-tiny number. x + h would be just to the right of x. (Imagine that we ve zoomed in on the graph so it looks big, but it s really small.) Plot the point at (x + h, f (x + h)). Connect those two points with a line segment. Calculate the slope of that line segment: This is what is called the. In calculus, you will study what happens as h gets smaller and smaller. In the meantime, we will practice the sometimes-messy algebra that surrounds the Difference Quotient.

In this case, we would find that This is the standard form of the equation of a centered at with radius. Write the equation of a circle centered at (-3, 0) with radius 2.

Then reflect the image through the x-axis to create a polygon that is symmetric about the x-axis. Notice that if (a, b) is on the polygon, then so is A graph is symmetric about the x- axis iff for each (x, y) on the graph, is also on the graph. We can test an equation to see if its graph will be symmetric about the x-axis. Substitute -y for y in the equation. Simplify the equation.

25 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Section Symmetry about the origin Informally, a graph is symmetric about the origin if when it is rotated 180 about the origin, the graph looks the same. By definition, a graph is symmetric about the origin iff for each (x, y) on the graph, is also on the graph. Interestingly, if a graph is symmetric about the origin, then for each point on the graph, there is a corresponding point on the graph such that the line segment connecting these two points has the origin as its midpoint. We can test an equation to see if its graph will be symmetric about the origin. Substitute both -x for x and -y for y in the equation. Simplify the equation.

34 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 293 Chapter Vectors Remember that is the set of real numbers, often represented by the number line, 2 is the notation for the 2-dimensional plane. (Think about the Cartesian plane which is drawn by intersecting 2 numbers lines. = 2 ) 3 is the notation for 3-dimensional space. (Imagine another number line passing through the origin, perpendicular to the plane.) Vectors are used to represent quantities such as force and velocity which have both and. The magnitude of a vector corresponds to its. Vectors are directed line segments. (Like the cross between a segment and a ray.) Each of these directed line segments has an initial (starting) point and a terminal (ending) point. Naming Vectors: Vectors in 2 are defined by their terminal point on the Cartesian plane, assuming their initial point is at the origin. For example, the vector 3,4 has its initial point at the origin and its terminal point at ( 3, 4). Notice that distinction between the vector 3,4 and its terminal point ( 3, 4). 3,4 is a vector. It is a directed line segment. It has magnitude and direction. ( 3, 4) is simply an ordered pair of real numbers.

35 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 294 Definition: A vector v in the Cartesian plane is defined by an ordered pair of real numbers in the form v x, v y. We write v = v x, v y and call v x and v y the of vector v. Specifically v x is the and v y is the of the vector. The graphical representation of 3, 4 is given in Figure 1. Figure 2 Note: Although the vectors in Figure 2 have different initial points and different terminal points, they are all equivalent to 3,4 because they have the same magnitude and direction. Usually what is important about the vector v is not where it is, but how long it is and which way it points. Two or more vectors with the same magnitude and direction are When a vector s initial point is NOT at the origin, we must figure out how to name the vector so that it has the same magnitude and direction as the equivalent vector with initial point at the origin. Note that you can think of the vector 3,4 as set of instructions to get from the initial point to the terminal point: Go to the right 3 and up 4.

36 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 295 Consider a vector with initial point at (3, -4) and terminal point at (-2, 0). To name this vector think about how you would instruct someone to move from the initial point to the terminal point. Those instructions would be to move right left up down So the name of the vector with initial point at (3, -4) and terminal point at (-2, 0) is What is the name of the vector with initial point at (x 0, y 0 ) and terminal point at (x T, y T )? What is the length of 3,4? Length of a vector: The magnitude or length of a vector v x, v y is denoted v x, v y v x, v y = In 3 the length of a vector v x, v y, v z is denoted v x, v y, v z v x, v y, v z =

38 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 297 Scalar Multiplication: (When working with vectors, the term scalar refers to a real number.) If u = u x, u y and c is a real number, then the scalar multiple c u = If v = 1, 2, then 2 v = 3 v = v, 2 v and 3 v all have the Notice how same (The WebAssign problems will use the word parallel.) So scalar multiplication is simply the multiplying a vector by a number. The result is another vector that lies on the same A scalar of particular interest is -1. If u = u x, u y, then ( 1) u = u = If v = 1, 2, then v = Notice how v and v lie but point in

39 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 298 Direction of a vector: We say that two nonzero vectors u and v have the same direction if c opposite directions if c Give two examples of vectors that are not equivalent to 3, 5, but have the same direction. Give two examples of vectors that have the opposite direction of 3, 5. Do 6, 10 and 9, 15 have the same direction? If 6, 10 and 9, 15 have the same direction then These two vectors have the direction :

40 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 299 Do 4, 9 and 2, 3 have the same direction? If 4, 9 and 2, 3 have the same direction then Unit Vectors A unit vector is a vector with length. Is v = 1, 2 a unit vector? What is the length of 1, 2? 1, 2 = What if you wanted a unit vector that is in the same direction as 1, 2? You would want a scalar c, so that c 1, 2 = c, 2c = 1 c, 2c = Remember that since c 1, 2 is in the same direction as 1, 2, c > 0 so c = Check:

So is a unit vector in the same direction as Since we want a unit vector in the opposite direction, we will multiply this vector by c = v. is a unit vector in the opposite direction as v.

45 Fry Texas A&M University Math 150 Spring 2017 Vectors 304 Though we have determined the formula for the angle between to vectors, that formula is not the one that is remember and used. Instead, we will use a formula that involves an operation called the dot product. Vector Dot Product If u = u x, u y and v = v x, v y, then the dot product u i v = Notice that the dot product of two vectors is a. The vector dot product is sometimes called the It is important to notice the distinction between the scalar product of two vectors an operation on two vectors which yields a scalar and scalar multiplication of a vector an operation between a scalar and a vector that yields a vector.
