query problem 5.4.72 length of ladder around corner hall widths 3 ft and 4 ft `theta relative to wall in 4' hall, ladder in contact with walls. If the angle is `theta, as indicated, then how long is the ladder?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
22:20:54 YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The longest ladder that will fit is about 9.86 feet. After studying the picture, we can see that we have two triangles that are similar. The sum of the two hypotenuses represents the length of the longest ladder that will fit around the corner. We know that sin(theta) = y/r and cos(theta) = x/r , where r can = hypotenuse. Using the formulas we have: sin(theta) = 4/r r*(sin(theta)) = 4 r = 4/(sin(theta)) = the length of the ladder in the 4ft hallway The r value above is added to the r value below to make up the entire longest ladder. cos(theta) = 3/r r*(cos(theta)) = 3 r = 3/(cos(theta)) = the length of the ladder in the 3ft hallway The longest ladder to fit around the corner is 3* (cos(theta)) + 4* (sin(theta)) confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** First you need a good picture, which I hope you drew and which you should describe. Using the picture, in the 4' hall you can construct a right triangle with angle `theta and a side of 4 ft, with the part of the ladder in that hall forming the hypotenuse. Is the 4 ft opposite to the angle, adjacent to the angle or is it the hypotenuse? Once you answer that you can find how much ladder is in the hall. You can also construct a right triangle with the rest of the ladder as the hypotenuse and the angle `theta as one of the angles. Identifying sides and using the definitions of the trig functions you can find the length of the hypotenuse and therefore the rest of the length of the ladder. ** The 4 ft is opposite to the angle theta between the hall and the ladder, i.e., between wall and hypotenuse. So 4 ft / hypotenuse = sin(theta) and the length of the ladder section in this hall is hypotenuse = 4 ft / sin(theta). The triangle in the 3 ft hall has the 3 ' side parallel to the 4 ' hall, so the angle between hypotenuse and the 3 ' side is theta. Thus 3 ft / hypotenuse = cos(theta) and the length of ladder in this hass is hypotenuse = 3 ft / cos(theta). So it is true that length = 4/sin(theta) + 3/cos(theta). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
22:41:27 YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: A= 1/2bh The triangle can be split to form to equal right triangles. We need ½ base and height to find the area. We know that the hypotenuse is a therefore: cos(theta) = (1/2 base)/a a*cos(theta) =1/2 base sin(theta) = height/a a*sin(theta) = height Now that we have what we need: A = (a*sin(theta))(a*cos(theta)) A = a^2 * sine(theta)*cos(theta) confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: STUDENT SOLUTION: A = 1/2bh Since an isosceles triangle can be separated into two right triangles . We can use right triangle math to derive an equation for the area. The triangles will have a hypoteuse of ""a "" an adjacent side (equal to 1/2 base) of a cos`theta and a Opposite side (equal to height) of a sin`theta. 1/2 base(b) = acos`theta height (h) = asin`theta A = a cos`theta * a sin`theta A = a^2 cos(`theta) sin(`theta) ** a * cos 'theta = 1/2 * base so base = 2 * a * cos(`theta). a * sin 'theta = height. So 1/2 base * height = 1/2 (a sin 'theta)(2 * a cos 'theta) = a^2 (sin 'theta)(cos 'theta) **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Considering the graph of cos x we have: A = 1 Period T = 2pi y-intercept = 1 x-intercepts = pi/2, 3pi/2 Considering the graph of 3cos x + 3 we have: A = 3 (vertical stretch by a factor of 3) Period T = 2pi y-intercept = 6 (vertical shift 3 units) x-intercepts = none confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** The graph of cos(x) is 'centered' on the x axis, has a period of 2 `pi, as you say, and an amplitude of 1. Thus it runs from y value 1 to 0 to -1 to 0 to 1 in its first cycle, and in every subsequent cycle. The graph of y = 3 cos x has the same description except that every y value is multiplied by 3, thereby 'stretching' the graph by factor 3. Its y values run between y = 3 and y = -3. The period is not affected by the vertical stretch and remains 2 `pi. y = 3 cos x + 3 is the same except that we now add 3 to every y value. This means that the y values will now run from -3+3 = 0 to +3+3 = 6. The period is not affected by consistent changes in the y values and remains 2 `pi. **

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Considering the graph of tan x between -pi/2 and pi/2 we have: Period T = pi y-intercept = 0 x-intercept = 0 f(pi/4) = 1 f(-pi/4) = -1 vertical asymptotes = -pi/2, pi/2 Considering the graph of 4 tan (.5x) between -pi and pi we have: Period T = 2pi ( horizontal stretch by a factor 2) y-intercept = 0 x-intercept = 0 f(pi/2) = 4 (vertical stretch by a factor of 4) f(-pi/2) = -4 (vertical stretch by a factor of 4) vertical asymptotes = -pi, pi confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** The period of tan x is `pi because every time x changes by `pi you get to a point on the reference circle where the values of the tangent function start repeating. The graph of tan x repeats between vertical asymptotes at x = -`pi/2 and +`pi/2. .5 x will change by `pi if x changes by `pi / .5 = 2 `pi. So the period of tan(.5x) is 2 `pi. This effective 'spreads' the graph out twice as far in the horizontal direction. The graph therefore passes thru the origin and has vertical asymptotes at -`pi and `pi (twice as far out in the horizontal direction as for tan x). 4 tan(.5x) will be just like tan(.5x) except that every point is 4 times as far from the x axis--the graph is therefore stretched vertically by factor 4. This will, among other things, make it 4 times as steep when it passes thru the x axis. **

.............................................
Given Solution: ** Each period of the function happens between its vertical asymptotes. The vertical asymptotes occur at intervals of 2 `pi, since the function has period 2 `pi. The vertical asymptotes nearest the origin are at -`pi and +`pi. In the positive direction the next few will be at 3 `pi, 5 `pi, 7 `pi, etc.. In the negative direction the next few will be at -3 `pi, -5 `pi, -7 `pi, etc.. Thus asymptotes occur at all positive and negative odd multiples of `pi. **
