    4 Trigonometry Application Word Problems

    A lobster boat is situated due west of a lighthouse. A barge is 12 km south of the lobster boat. From the barge the bearing to the lighthouse is 63 degrees (12 km is the length of the side adjacent to the 63 degree bearing). How far is the lobster boat from the light house? A recent land survey was conducted on a vacant lot

    Method to solve a trigonometric equation

    Find all solutions of the equation Sec^2-2=0 The answer is A+B(k)(pi) where k is any integer and 0<A<pi/2, A= B= I have one answer as pi/4 for A that is correct, but I cannot figure out how to get B. I was using +-sqrt2/2 to get the A answer.

    Trigonometry equation

    S=4sin(t+^0) with a force acting upon it P=7sin(t-39) If E at time t is ps and E=-14cos(2t-60) How do you arrive at this.

    2 Problems

    1. Two cars with new tires are driven at an average speed of 60 mph for a test drive of 2000 miles. The diameter of the wheels of one car is 15 inches. The diameter of the wheels of the other car is 16 inches. If the tires are equally durable and differ only by diameter, which car will probably need new tires first? Why? 2.

    Trigonometry Equation Displacement Representation

    What is the process to determine a force acting upon a body as in a displacement represented by say p=?sin(t+?degree) with a force say n =?sin(t-?degrees) so that it evaluates to a given figure of energy of motion?

    Pythagorean Triples and Quadratic Coefficients

    1. If a + b = 7, and a2 + b2 = 37, then what is the value of ab? 2. Isn't there an easy way to find out Pythagorean Triplets? 3:4:5 6:8:10 5:12:13 8:15:17 7:24:25 Please provide an equation or easy way to get triplets- e.g. some kind of relation. See the attached file.

    Simplify Trig Functions

    Simplify: tan (2 arc cos (x/3)) Solution shall not contain trig and inverse trig functions. Do not use calculator.

    Solve Trigonometric Expressions (Arcsin and Arccos)

    Set -pi/2 <= x <= pi x = arcsin[sin(5pi/3)] = _______pi x = arcsin[sin(7pi/4)] = _______pi x = arccos[cos(-5pi/6)] = ______pi x = arccos[cos(3pi/2)] = _______pi x = arccos[cos(3pi/4)] = ______pi x = arctan[cos(3pi/2)] = ______pi x = arcsin[sin(7pi/6)] = _____pi Write as a multiple of pi. pi = 3.14159.

    Trigonometry: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

    In the movie Close Encounters of Third Kind, there was a scene where the star, Richard Dreyfuss, was approaching Devil's Tower in Wyoming. He could have determined his distance from Devil's Tower by first stopping at point P, and taken a measurement of the angle from his location to the height of the tower of 13.5 degrees. He
