This help please #12, 13, and 14 ! Im really stuck and I have a math test soon

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

bloody hell :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

12 is evil D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Or not haha

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Sorry, mental block a while a go... but it's all good now :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Use cofunctions. Remember that \[\Large \cot(\theta) = \tan\left(\frac \pi 2 - \theta\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh got it !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need #13 and also determining the exact value for #14 oh wait 12 b aswell :(

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Sorry for my lack of activity... really disoriented right now o.O

OpenStudy (aravindg):

For #13 sin x=cos 3pi/11 Express cos in sine.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Then you can simply equate x. Sin(pi/2-x)=cos x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

#14 is a simple application of the forms: sin(A+B),sin(A-B),cos(A+B), cos(A-B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I got sin ( 5π/ 12 + π/4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do i got exact?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Isn't it 5pi/22 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not for 14 a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forr 13 the right answer is 17pi / 22 but I also got 5 pi over 22

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Sin x=sin y can have multiple solutions. The general format is x=npi+((-1)^n)y if I remember right.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

For 14 a, simplify the expression you got. You will land on the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thanks !

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Did you get 12 b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (aravindg):

It's quite easy. I will give you a hint: tan 13pi/9=tan(pi+4pi/9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you know when to subtract and add?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#15 as well. Oh my I hate getting stuck on questions.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay... I'm back to optimal running conditions.. :D What'd I miss? ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 b and 15 :}

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

15 looks like fun :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You can either use identities or draw a right-triangle. It doesn't matter that much, take your pick, whichever you're more comfy with ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right triangle :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay. Let's draw that damn right triangle (in the first quadrant, since the question specifies it so) |dw:1406029004001:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

|dw:1406029069216:dw|So this is the angle x. Catch me so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes !

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, so since the sine is 4/5, we'll have the opposite side be 4... and the hypotenuse be 5. Like this.|dw:1406029434711:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright I have it drawn like that aswell

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay, can you find the missing side?|dw:1406029630937:dw| Use the Pythagorean theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+4^2=25^2 x^2=625-16 x^2=609

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=25.6 ... this seems so wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh shoot I did 25 -_- wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 3 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so cos x = 3/5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I got it ! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would I do the same for #16 but instead multiply it be 2 after ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I'm sorry again... you got cos correct :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You haven't done 15b yet, though... you do something similar, only you're given cos this time...
