Vocaloid:

most likely they want the exact solutions not the approximated forms from the earlier proof we saw that sin^2(x)cos^2(x) = [1 - cos(4x)]/8 set [1 - cos(4x)]/8 = (2 - sqrt(2))/16 and solve for cos(4x) then find the appropriate angles on the unit circle

zarkam21:

pi/16 + pi(n)/2 7pi/16 + pi(n)/2

zarkam21:

on the UC this is:

zarkam21:

do i need to do anything witht he unit circle or is this the final answer

Vocaloid:

just a minor correction, it's not pi*n/2 , it's 2*pi*n so pi/16 + 2pi(n) 7pi/16 + 2pi(n) is it

Vocaloid:

for example, for a) since tan(theta/2) = tan(pi/8), theta must be pi/4, plug in theta = pi/4 into the formula (1 - cos(theta))/sin(theta), and repeat this process for b and c using the appropriate angle values/identity

zarkam21:

since cos(theta/2) = cos(pi/8), theta must be pi/4, plug in theta = pi/4 into the formula (sqrt 1+cos(theta) / 2

zarkam21:

like this

Vocaloid:

oh wait you're working on the cos one

Vocaloid:

yeah that's right, make sure to plug in theta = pi/4 into the formula

zarkam21:

since cos(theta/2) = cos(pi/8), theta must be pi/4, plug in theta = pi/4 into the formula (sqrt 1+cos(pi/4) / 2

Vocaloid:

good, as a minor correction, the square root needs to be on the outside sqrt[(1+cos(pi/4)/2]

zarkam21:

since tan(theta/2) = tan(pi/8), theta must be pi/4, plug in theta = pi/4 into the formula (1 - cos(pi/4))/sin(pi/4)

zarkam21:

and then this for the first one

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

since tan(theta/2) = tan(pi/16), theta must be pi/8, plug in theta = pi/8 into the formula formula (1 - cos(pi/8))/sin(pi/8)

Vocaloid:

good, that's it for c

start with sin(2 * theta) = 2sin(theta)cos(theta) to re-write the formula in terms of sin only then plug in h = 100 and v = 60 and solve for theta

Vocaloid:

the original equation is h = v^2/16 * sin(theta)cos(theta) we can use the identity sin(2 * theta) = 2sin(theta)cos(theta) to re-write "sin(theta)cos(theta)" as (1/2)sin(2theta) therefore: h = (1/2)(v^2/16) * sin(2theta) solve for theta

Vocaloid:

yeah come to think of it since sin(2theta) = 200/225 then you pretty much have to use your calculator here

zarkam21:

so is that final calculationcorrect for part A

zarkam21:

100 = ((1)/(2))((60^(2))/(16)) * sin(2t) sin(2theta) = 200/225

Vocaloid:

yeah just be sure to specify that it's in radians

zarkam21:

um pi/2

Vocaloid:

actually hold on a sec

zarkam21:

im not sure

Vocaloid:

actually since it's the product of sin and cos, it takes its maximum at the angle (pi/4), plug in theta = pi/4 into (1/2)(v^2/16) * sin(2theta) to get a maximum of 225/4

zarkam21:

so this would be part b right

Vocaloid:

yes
