b. Graph the function for the interval . Show how you found at least two points on the I/O diagram.
2. [K 3 A 1]Two friends, Suban and Jas, start from the same point but ride their bikes down two different paths. The paths diverge at an angle of 38°. Suban rides down his path at 12 km/h, and Jas rides down his path at 14 km/h. Determine how far apart the two are after riding at their respective speeds for 90 min.
3. [K 4]The point A(–3, –5) is on the terminal arm of an angle , in standard position.
a. Determine exact expressions for the secondary/reciprocal trigonometric ratios for the angle.
b. Determine possible values for angle when .
4. [A 4]A rectangle has a diagonal of 8 cm. The diagonal creates a 60° angle at the base of the rectangle.
a) Write an exact expression for the base and the height of the rectangle.
b) Use your expressions to find the exact area of the rectangle.
5. [ A 3]Richard, Anton, and Donald are standing at three corners of a triangle in the middle of a park. Donald is 54 m from Anton, and Richard is 74 m from Donald. The angle at the vertex of the triangle where Richard is standing is 34°. Calculate the possible distance(s) from Richard to Anton. How many solutions will there be to this problem? Justify your answer. It is not necessary to solve the complete problem.
6. [K 4]Prove
7. [K 1 A 4] Sheryl is surveying a cliff to determine the elevation from the base of a canyon to the top of the cliff. She lays out a line AB that is 225 m in length. She also sites a point C at the base of the cliff. Point D is a point directly above point C, at the top of the cliff. She measures to be 43°, to be 58°, and the angle of elevation from point A to point D to be 29°.
Draw a diagram to model this situation. Determine the height of the cliff.
8. [A 5]A Dutch windmill has blades that are 20 m in length, and the centre of their circular motion is a point 23 m above the ground. The blades have a frequency of 4 revolutions per minute when in operation.
a) Use a sinusoidal function to model the height above the ground of the tip of one blade as a function of time.
b) How far off the ground is the tip of the blade at 10 s?
9. [T 3]Is there an angle that satisfies the equation ? If so, determine the value(s) for the angle. If not, justify why not. Use the unit circle in your explanation. A solution dependent on a graphing calculator will not earn marks.
