T1a. (Φ3)/2   b. –(Φ3)/3   c. p/3
    d. 5
p/6 (Note: I would also accept –p/6, but 5p/6 is technically more correct, based on the ranges given on p. 771. Of those 6 diagrams, you need to know only the first 3, namely arcsin, arccos, and arctan.)
    e. –(
Φ74)/7   f. 540/p
Explanation for T1e:
    If the ray from the origin passes through (5, –7), then we can sketch a right triangle as follows:

    The hypotenuse is Φ74 by Pythag. Thm. By SOHCAHTOA, sin q = –7/Φ74. Therefore, csc q =
    reciprocal, as stated above.


T2a. cos 37°
» 0.6018 by calc.
         If you are not allowed to use a calculator, you should be able to estimate as follows:
         Since sin 30° = .5, and sin 45° =
Φ(2)/2 » .7, sin 37° must be somewhere in between.
         A good guess would be 0.6.
    b. 1/tan(1.9)
» –0.3416
         Estimating technique: tan 1.9
» tan 2 » tan (2p/3) = –Φ3 » –1.7. Choose a steeper
         slope since 2 radians is closer to the y-axis than 2
p/3, say –2.5 instead of –1.7. Then
         take reciprocal of –2.5, i.e., reciprocal of –5/2, to get –2/5 = –0.4. That is not a great
         estimate, but it is acceptable.
    c. arccsc 4.5 = “angle whose cosecant is 45/10” = “angle whose sine is 10/45”
» 12°50' by calc.
         Estimating technique: “angle whose sine is 10/45”
» “angle whose sine is 1/4” < 30° since
         sin 30° = 1/2. A good guess would be 15° or 20°.
    d. sin–1 3 = DNE. You should be able to realize this instantly without a calculator.

T3b. amplitude 5, frequency 10 (i.e., 10 cycles in every 360°), centerline y = –3, phase shift = 4° to right

9. 122 = 72 + 62 – 2(7)(6)cos ΠT
    144 = 49 + 36 – 84 cos

11. 52 = 72 + 132 – 2(7)(13)cos ΠY
    25 = 49 + 169 – 182 cos
ΠY
    25 – 218 = –182 cos
ΠY
    –193 = –182 cos

ΠY (IMPOSSIBLE!)
    No angle has a cosine greater than 1 or less than –1. The triangle (as suggested by the diagram)
    is impossible. Answer: DNE.

(b) 64002 = 64002 + d2 – 2(6400)(d)cos q, where d was already computed in part (a)
    –d2 = –12,800d cos
q
    d/12,800 = cos
q

q » 0.43107, using previously stored value for d
    
q » arccos 0.43107 . . . » 64°28'

 

 

 

(c) We know r/d = sin q by SOHCAHTOA.
    Since d and
q were both found previously, r = d sin q » 5517.703 . . .(sin 64° . . .) » 4978.723 km.

The second probability/counting problem (number of arrangements of king-ace full houses) requires a 4-step analysis:

1. Decide on kings over aces, or aces over kings. (These are different types of hands.)
2. Choose 3 of the more numerous card values.
3. Choose 2 of the less numerous card values.
4. Arrange the 5 cards chosen in steps 2 and 3.

Step #1 can be done 2 ways. For each of those, step 2 can be done 4C3 = 4 ways. For each of those, step 3 can be done 4C2 = 6 ways. For each of those, step 4 can be done 5P5 = 5! = 120 ways.

Final answer: 2 · 4 · 6 · 120 = 5760.
