MTH 120 — Fall — 2007 Essex County College — Division of Mathematics Test # 31 — Created December 17, 2007 Name: Signature: Show all work clearly and in order, and box your final answers. Justify your answers algebraically whenever possible. You have at most 80 minutes to take this 100 point exam. No cellular phones allowed. Don’t forget to sign your exam! 1. If the sec θ = 7 and 270◦ < θ < 360◦ , find the exact values of the following functions of θ. You must clearly indicate the x, y and r. Work: From the information given we can conclude that x = 1, r = 7, and that y < 0. To find the value of y, solve √ √ 72 = 12 + y 2 ⇒ y = ± 48 = ±4 3. √ So, y = −4 3 √ −4 3 (a) sin θ = 7 (b) cos θ = 2 points 1 7 2 points √ (c) tan θ = −4 3 1 2 points (d) cot θ = −1 √ 4 3 2 points (e) csc θ = −7 √ 4 3 2 points This document was prepared by Ron Bannon using LATEX 2ε . 1 2.

Determine the values of each of the six trigonometric functions for θ = 330◦ . You must clearly indicate the x, y and r. Work: x = √ 3, y = −1 and r = 2 √ 1 sin 330 = − 2 cos 330 = 3 2 1 tan 330◦ = − √ 3 csc 330◦ = −2 2 sec 330◦ = √ 3 √ cot 330◦ = − 3 ◦ ◦ 4.

Restrict your solutions to [0, 2π). 10 points 2 cos2 x = 1 − cos x Work: 2 cos2 x = 1 − cos x 2 cos2 x + cos x − 1 = 0 (2 cos x − 1) (cos x + 1) = 0 This results in two equations to solve. cos x = 1 2 and cos x = −1 As discussed in class, it is best to graph one cycle of the cosine function to visualize where the solutions are. So here’s the graph of the cosine curve on the interval [0, 2π), with the line segments, y = 1/2 and y = −1. 1 0 -1 Figure 1: One cycle of the cosine function, with line segments y = 1/2 and y = −1. 3 Clearly, we have x= π 5π , π, . 3 3 If you prefer degree measure, the answer is x = 60◦ , 180◦ , 300◦ . 10 points 8. Find the first three terms in the expansion of 22 b−2/3 + b1/3 Work: Here’s what you need to do: 22 −2/3 22 1/3 0 22 −2/3 21 1/3 1 22 −2/3 20 1/3 2 b b + b b + b b . 21 20 22 Here’s the simplified form: b−44/3 + 22b−41/3 + 231b−38/3 . I will also accept the last three terms as an answer: b22/3 + 22b19/3 + 231b16/3 . 5π 9.
