S1. Using the sine law, we have:
AB AC 4 AC
sin C sin B sin 45 sin 600
0
4sin 600
AC 2 6
sin 450
Thus, the length of AC is 2 6 cm.
S2. Using the cosine law, we have:
AC 2 AB 2 BC 2 2 AB BC cosB
36 36 72 cos 1500

72 36 3 134
AC 11.6
Thus, AC is roughly 11.6 cm long.

S6. Self-exercise. Refer to the in-chapter discussion if you need help.
S7. The following figure shows the graphs of the sine and the cosine functions for the specified
interval:
Clearly, the two functions have equal values in this interval for
5
x , x
4 4
Note that since sin x cos x , we can say that
sin x
tan x 1
cos x
Thus, we can alternatively solve this problem by finding out those values of x (in the specified
interval) for which tan x 1 .

S8. (a) – (f). The answers are:
1
sin 1 , cos 1 0
2 6 2
tan 1 1 , sec 1 2

S9. The denominator should not be equal to 0. Thus,
sin x 0
x 2n 1 , n
2
D 2n 1 , n
2
S10. The denominator should be non-zero for the output to be well-defined. Thus,
cos x 1
x 2 n 1 , n
D 2n 1 , n
S11. In the interval 0, 2 , the values of x for which sin x
1
will be
2
3
x , x
4 4
Thus, the general solution set can be written as
3
x 2n , 2n , n

, are
3
11
x , x
6 6
The general solution set can be written as
11
x 2n , 2n , n
6 6

We note that is equivalent to ; thus, the solution set can also be specified as follows:
6 6
x 2n , 2n , n
