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 
 3
 72  72   
 2 
 72  36 3  134
 AC  11.6
Thus, AC is roughly 11.6 cm long.

S5. Using the angle sum property, we have:

A B C 
 A B  C
sin  A  B   sin   C   sin C

 cos  A  B   cos   C    cos C
 cos  A  B   cos C  0

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 .

S9. The denominator should not be equal to 0. Thus,


sin x  0

 x   2n  1 , n

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 
