Given Solution: `aThe angular positions of the points coinciding with the positive and negative x axes all have y coordinate 0; these angles include 0, pi and 2 pi. At angular position pi/4 the point of circle appears to be close to (.7,.7), perhaps a little beyond at (.71,.71) or even at (.72,.72). Any of these estimates would be reasonable. • Note for reference that, to two decimal places the coordinates are in fact (.71,.71). • To 3 decimal places the coordinates are (.707, .707), and • the completely accurate coordinates are (`sqrt(2)/2, `sqrt(2) / 2). The y coordinate of the pi/4 point is therefore .71. The y coordinate of the 3 pi/4 point is the same, while the y coordinates of the 5 pi/4 and 7 pi/4 points are -.71. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): left them in fraction form ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*Ok ********************************************* Question: `q002.

Given Solution: The angular positions of the points coinciding with the positive and negative x axes all have y coordinate 0; these angles include 0, pi and 2 pi. At angular position pi/6 the point on the circle appears to be close to (.9,.5); the x coordinate is actually a bit less than .9, perhaps .87, so perhaps the coordinates of the point are (.87, .5). Any estimate close to these would be reasonable. • Note for reference that the estimate (.87, .50) is indeed accurate to 2 decimal places. • The completely accurate coordinates are (`sqrt(3)/2, 1/2). The y coordinate of the pi/6 point is therefore .5. The coordinates of the pi/3 point are (.5, .87), just the reverse of those of the pi/6 point; so the y coordinate of the pi/3 point is approximately .87. The 2 pi/3 point will also have y coordinate approximately .87, while the 4 pi/3 and 5 pi/3 points will have y coordinates approximately -.87. The 5 pi/6 point will have y coordinate .5, while the 7 pi/6 and 11 pi/6 points will have y coordinate -.5. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Did not break it down into which one goes with with position. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*Ok ********************************************* Question: `q003. Make a table of y coordinate vs. angular position for points which lie on the unit circle at angular positions theta which are multiples of pi/4 with 0 <= theta <= 2 pi (i.e., 0, pi/4, pi/2, 3 pi/4, pi, 5 pi/4, 3 pi/2, 7 pi/4, 2 pi). You may use 2-significant-figure approximations for this exercise. Sketch a graph of the y coordinate vs. angular position. Give your table and describe the graph. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: sketched the graph on paper angular position y-coord 0 0.0 pi/4 0.71 pi/2 1.0 3 pi/4 0.71 pi 0.0 5 pi/4 -0.71 3 pi/2 -1.0 7 pi/4 -0.71 2 pi 0.0 confidence rating #$&*3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe table is theta y coordinate 0 0.0 pi/4 0.71 pi/2 1.0 3 pi/4 0.71 pi 0.0 5 pi/4 -0.71 3 pi/2 -1.0 7 pi/4 -0.71 2 pi 0.0. We note that the slope from (0,0) to (pi/4,.71) is greater than that from (pi/4,.71) to (pi/2,1), so is apparent that between (0,0) and (pi/2,1) the graph is increasing at a decreasing rate. We also observe that the maximum point occurs at (pi/2,1) and the minimum at (3 pi/2,-1). The graph starts at (0,0) where it has a positive slope and increases at a decrasing rate until it reaches the point (pi/2,1), at which the graph becomes for an instant horizontal and after which the graph begins decreasing at an increasing rate until it passes through the theta-axis at (pi, 0). It continues decreasing but now at a decreasing rate until reaching the point (3 pi/2,1), for the graph becomes for an instant horizontal. The graph then begins increasing at an increasing rate until it again reaches the theta-axis at (2 pi, 0). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*Ok ********************************************* Question: `q004. In terms of the motion of the point on the unit circle, why is it that the graph between theta = 0 and pi/2 increases? Why is that that the graph increases at a decreasing rate? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: When we first start going form 0 to pi/2 the y coordinate is changing faster than that of the x coordinate and then when we approach pi/2 the x coordinate changes faster than that of the y coordinate. Applying this to say it is increasing at a decreasing rate works here. The y coordinate is increasing but slows down so at a decreasing rate. confidence rating #$&*2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: As we move along the unit circle from the theta = 0 to the theta = pi/2 position it is clear that the y coordinate increases from 0 to 1. At the beginning of this motion the arc of the circle take us mostly in the y direction, so that the y coordinate changes quickly. However by the time we get near the theta = pi/2 position at the 'top' of the circle the arc is carrying us mostly in the x direction, with very little change in y. If we continue this reasoning we see why as we move through the second quadrant from theta = pi/2 to theta = pi the y coordinate decreases slowly at first then more and more rapidly, reflecting the way the graph decreases at an increasing rate. Then as we move through the third quadrant from theta = pi to theta = 3 pi/2 the y coordinate continues decreasing, but at a decreasing rate until we reach the minimum y = -1 at theta = 3 pi/2 before begin beginning to increase an increasing rate as we move through the fourth quadrant. If you did not get this answer, and if you did not draw a sketch of the circle and trace the motion around the circle, then you should do so now and do your best to understand the explanation in terms of your picture. You should also document in the notes whether you have understood this explanation. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I think I explained it pretty well and it makes sense to me. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* Ok ********************************************* Question: `q005. The table and graph of the preceding problems describe the sine function between = 0 and theta = pi/2. The sine function can be defined as follows: • The sine of the angle theta is the y coordinate of the point lying at angular position theta on a unit circle centered at the origin. We write y = sin(theta) to indicate the value of this function at angular position theta. Make note also of the definition of the cosine function: • The cosine of the angle theta is the x coordinate of the point lying at angular position theta on a unit circle centered at the origin. We write x = cos(theta) to indicate the value of this function at angular position theta. We can also the line tangent function to be • tan(theta) = y / x. Since for the unit circle sin(theta) and cos(theta) are respectively y and x, it should be clear that tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta). Give the following values: sin(pi/6), sin(11 pi/6), sin(3 pi/4), sin(4 pi/3), cos(pi/3), cos(7 pi/6). YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: sin(pi/6)... 1/2 sin(11pi/6)... -1/2 sin(3pi/4)... sqrt(2)/2 sin(4pi/3)... -sqrt(3)/2 cos(pi/3)... 1/2 cos(7pi/6)... -sqrt(3)/2 confidence rating #$&*3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: sin(pi/6) is the y coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the pi/6 position. We have seen that this coordinate is .5. sin(11 pi/6) is the y coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the 11 pi/6 position, which lies in the fourth quadrant and in angular displacement of pi/6 below the positive x-axis. We have seen that this coordinate is -.5. sin(3 pi/4) is the y coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the 3 pi/4 position. We have seen that this coordinate is .71. sin(4 pi/3) is the y coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the 4 pi/3 position, which lies in the third quadrant at angle pi/3 beyond the negative x axis. We have seen that this coordinate is -.87. cos(pi/3) is the x coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the pi/3 position, which lies in the first quadrant at angle pi/3 above the negative x axis. We have seen that this coordinate is .5. cos(7 pi/6) is the y coordinate on the unit circle of the point at the 7 pi/6 position, which lies in the third quadrant at angle pi/6 beyond the negative x axis. We have seen that this coordinate is -.87. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&*Ok ********************************************* Question: `q006. Suppose that the angle theta is equal to 2 x and that y = sine (theta). Given values of theta correspond to x = pi/6, pi/3, ..., pi, give the corresponding values of y = sin(theta). Sketch a graph of y vs. x. Not y vs. theta but y vs. x. Do you think your graph is accurate? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Yes I think my graph is accurate. confidence rating #$&*3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: The angles are in increments of pi/6, so we have angles pi/6, pi/3, pi/2, 2 pi/3, 5 pi/6 and pi. If x = pi/6, then 2x = 2 * pi/6 = pi/3. If x = pi/3, then 2x = 2 * pi/3 = 2 pi/3. If x = pi/2, then 2x = 2 * pi/2 = pi. If x = 2 pi/3, then 2x = 2 * 2 pi/3 = 4 pi/3. If x = 5 pi/6, then 2x = 2 * 5 pi/6 = 5 pi/3. If x = pi, then 2x = 2 * pi/6 = 2 pi. The values of sin(2x) are therefore sin(pi/3) = .87 sin(2 pi/3) = .87 sin(pi) = 0 sin(4 pi/3) = -.87 sin(5 pi/3) = -.87 sin(2 pi) = 0. We can summarize this in a table as follows: x 2x sin(2x) 0 0 0.0 pi/6 pi/3 0.87 pi/3 2 pi/3 0.87 pi/2 pi 0 2 pi/3 4 pi/3 -0.87 5 pi/6 5 pi/3 -0.87 0 2 pi 0.0. Figures 93 and 77 depict the graphs of y = sin(theta) vs. theta and y = sin(2x) vs. x. Note also that the graph of y = sin(2x) continues through another complete cycle as x goes from 0 to 2 pi; the incremental x coordinates pi/4 and 3 pi / 4 are labeled for the first complete cycle.   &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I could not put my graph in this but my values were exactly the same as the given solution. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* Ok ********************************************* Question: `q007. Now suppose that x = pi/12, 2 pi/12, 3 pi/12, 4 pi/12, etc.. Give the reduced form of each of these x values. Given x = pi/12, pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, 5 pi/6, ... what are the corresponding values of y = sin(2x)? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: y-values 0 0.0 pi/6 0.5 pi/3 0.87 pi/2 1.0 2pi/3 0.87 5pi/6 0.5 pi 0.0 7pi/6 -0.5 4pi/3 -0.87 3pi/2 -1.0 5pi/3 -0.87 11pi/6 -0.5 pi -0.0 confidence rating #$&*3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given the table of values obtained in the preceding problem, sketch a graph of y vs. x. Describe your graph. By how much does x change as the function sin(2x) goes through its complete cycle, and how does this compare with a graph of y = sin(x)? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: My graph goes through (0,0) as an increasing rate it reaches pi/4 before crossing back through at pi/2 and it continues at this rate. It differs from the other graph because it is half of the sin(2x). confidence rating #$&*3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aYour graph should pass through the origin (0,0) with a positive slope. It will have a peak at x = pi/4, pass back through the x-axis at x = pi/2, reach a minimum at x = 3 pi/4 and return to the x-axis at x = pi. More detail: The graph of y vs. x passes through the origin (0,0) with a positive slope and increases at a decreasing rate until it reaches a maximum value at the x = pi/4 point (pi/4,1). The graph is horizontal for an instant and then begins decreasing at an increasing rate, again reaching the x-axis at the x = pi/2 point (pi/2,0). The graph continues decreasing, but now at a decreasing rate until a reaches its minimum value at the x = 3 pi/4 point (3 pi/4,0). The graph is horizontal for an instant then begins increasing an increasing rate, finally reaching the point (pi, 0). The graph goes through its complete cycle as x goes from 0 to pi. A graph of y = sin(x), by contrast, would go through a complete cycle as x changes from 0 to 2 pi. We see that placing the 2 in front of x has caused the graph to go through its cycle twice as fast. Note that the values at multiples of the function at 0, pi/4, pi/2, 3 pi/4 and 2 pi are clearly seen on the graph. Note in Figure 3 how the increments of pi/12 are labeled between 0 and pi/4.

It will have a peak at x = pi/6, pass back through the x-axis at x = pi/3, reach a minimum at x = pi/2 and return to the x-axis at x = 2 pi/3. More detail: The graph of y vs. x passes through the origin (0,0) with a positive slope and increases at a decreasing rate until it reaches a maximum value at the x = pi/6 point (pi/6,1).

Sketch the graph corresponding to your table for sin(2x - pi/3) vs. x. Does the sine function go through a complete cycle? By how much does x change as the sine function goes through its complete cycle? For the function y = sin(2x - pi/3), what inequality in the variable x corresponds to the inequality 0 <= theta <= 2 pi? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: It does go through a complete cycle. pi/6 <= x <= 7 pi/6 confidence rating #$&*2.5 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If theta = 2x - pi/3 then the inequality 0 <= theta <= 2 pi becomes 0 <=2x - pi/3 <= 2 pi. If we add pi/3 to both sides we get pi/3 <= 2x <= 2 pi + pi/3. If we then multiply through by 1/2 we have 1/2 * pi/3 <= 1/2 * 2x <= 1/2 * 2 pi + 1/2 * pi/3, or pi/6 <= x <= 7 pi/6. In the preceding problem our graph when through a complete cycle between x = pi/6 and x = 7 pi/6. This precisely corresponds to the inequality we just obtained. A graph of y = sin(2x - pi/3) vs. x is shown in Figure 43. This graph goes through its cycle in an x 'distance' of pi, between pi/6 and 7 pi/6. • In this it is similar to the graph of y = sin(2x), which also requires an x 'distance' of pi. • Our graph differs from that ofy = sin(2x) in that the graph is 'shifted' pi/6 units to the right of that graph.
