    Practice exercises - Exam 2 (Sections 3.1, 3.

    3 and Chapter 4)

    1. Convert

    (a) 65 100 to radians, rounding your answer to the nearest thousandth of a radian
    (b) 4 radians to degrees, writing your answer to the nearest minute

    2. Assuming ✓ is placed in standard position, identify the quadrant for ✓ and find the exact
    value of the reference angle ✓0 .
    (a) ✓ = 9⇡
    8
    (b) ✓ = 4⇡
    5

    3. Use a reference angle to find the exact value⇣ of ⌘the following expressions:
    (a) cos( 4⇡
    3
    ) (b) sin 3⇡
    4

    4. Approximate, to the nearest hundredth of a radian, all angles ✓ between 0 and 2⇡ with
    sin ✓ = 0.92
    p
    5. Find the exact value of all angles ✓ between 0 and 2⇡ with cos ✓ = 2
    3

    6. Find the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift of the graph of
    y = 3 sin(4x + 2) + 6
    ⇣ ⌘
    7. Graph one complete cycle of y = 2 cos 1
    3
    x 1

    8. Write an equation for the following graph:


    2

    p 3p 5p
    p 2p
    2 2 2

    9. Graph one period of y = sec(2x)

    10. Find the period and phase shift of y = tan(2x ⇡).

    11. The position of a weight attached to a spring is s(t) = 4 cos(10t) inches t seconds after
    being released.

    (a) Find the maximum height the weight rises above its equilibrium position.
    (b) Find the frequency.
    (c) When does the weight first reach its maximum height?
    Answers
    ⇣ ⌘⇣ ⌘
    ⇡ radians
    1. (a) 65 + 10
    degrees ⇡ 1.137 radians
    ⇣ 60 ⌘ degrees
    180
    180 degrees
    (b) (4 radians) ⇡ radians ⇡ 229.183 degrees or 229 110 to the nearest minute

    2. (a) Quadrant III, ✓0 = ⇡8


    (b) Quadrant II, ✓0 = ⇡5
    ⇣ ⌘ ⇣ ⌘
    3. (a) cos 4⇡
    3
    = ± cos ⇡3 using the reference angle, the exact value is 12 in the third
    quadrant
    ⇣ ⌘ ⇣ ⌘
    (b) sin 3⇡
    4
    = ± sin ⇡
    4
    using the reference angle, the exact value is p12 in the second
    quadrant.
    4. Using the reference angle ✓0 = sin 1 (0.92) ⇡ 1.17 radians, we get two solutions:
    ✓ ⇡ ⇡ + 1.17 ⇡ 4.31 in QIII or ✓ ⇡ 2⇡ 1.17 ⇡ 5.11 in QIV.
    p
    5. For the reference angle ✓0 , we know cos ✓0 = 23 giving ✓0 = ⇡6 .
    For the proper sign, we get two solutions: ✓ = ⇡6 in QI or ✓ = 11⇡6
    in QIV.
    6. Amplitude is 3, period is ⇡2 , phase shift is 1
    2
    left, and vertical shift is 6
    7. Clearly label your axes:
    1

    p 2p 3p 4p 5p 6p

    -1

    -2

    -3

    ⇣ ⌘
    8. y = sin x ⇡
    2
    +1

    9. Begin by graphing cos(2x); the graph is ⇡ periodic with vertical asymptotes at ⇡


    4
    and 3⇡

    10. Phase shift is ⇡2 right; period is ⇡b = ⇣⇡2 . ⇣ ⌘⌘


    We can see this by rewriting as tan 2 x ⇡
    2
    and remembering that tan x has period ⇡.

    11. (a) 4 inches


    (b) period is 2⇡
    b
    = 2⇡
    10
    = ⇡5 so the frequency is the reciprocal ⇡5 ⇡ 1.59 Hertz
    (c) weight reaches its maximum height after half a period at t = 10 ⇡
    seconds.
