9.2 Section Exercises

1.

The cofunction identities apply to complementary angles. Viewing the two acute angles of a right triangle, if one of those angles measures x, x, the second angle measures π 2 −x. π 2 −x. Then sinx=cos( π 2 −x ).  sinx=cos( π 2 −x ).  The same holds for the other cofunction identities. The key is that the angles are complementary.

3.

sin( −x )=−sinx, sin( −x )=−sinx, so sinx sinx is odd. cos( −x )=cos( 0−x )=cosx, cos( −x )=cos( 0−x )=cosx, so cosx cosx is even.

Start with cosx+cosy. cosx+cosy. Make a substitution and let x=α+β x=α+β and let y=α−β, y=α−β, so cosx+cosy cosx+cosy becomes cos(α+β)+cos(α−β)=cosαcosβ−sinαsinβ+cosαcosβ+sinαsinβ= 2cosαcosβ cos(α+β)+cos(α−β)=cosαcosβ−sinαsinβ+cosαcosβ+sinαsinβ= 2cosαcosβ

Since x=α+β x=α+β and y=α−β, y=α−β, we can solve for α α and β β in terms of x and y and substitute in for 2cosαcosβ 2cosαcosβ and get 2cos( x+y 2 )cos( x−y 2 ). 2cos( x+y 2 )cos( x−y 2 ).

There will not always be solutions to trigonometric function equations. For a basic example, cos(x)=−5. cos(x)=−5.

3.

If the sine or cosine function has a coefficient of one, isolate the term on one side of the equals sign. If the number it is set equal to has an absolute value less than or equal to one, the equation has solutions, otherwise it does not. If the sine or cosine does not have a coefficient equal to one, still isolate the term but then divide both sides of the equation by the leading coefficient. Then, if the number it is set equal to has an absolute value greater than one, the equation has no solution.
