# 2.2 Graphs of the other trigonometric functions  (Page 9/9)

 Page 9 / 9

How can the graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ be used to construct the graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{sec}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x?$

Explain why the period of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{tan}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is equal to $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\pi .$

Answers will vary. Using the unit circle, one can show that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{tan}\left(x+\pi \right)=\mathrm{tan}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$

Why are there no intercepts on the graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{csc}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x?$

How does the period of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{csc}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ compare with the period of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x?$

The period is the same: $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}2\pi .$

## Algebraic

For the following exercises, rewrite each expression such that the argument $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is positive.

$\mathrm{cot}\left(-x\right)\mathrm{cos}\left(-x\right)+\mathrm{sin}\left(-x\right)$

## Technology

For the following exercises, use a graphing calculator to graph two periods of the given function. Note: most graphing calculators do not have a cosecant button; therefore, you will need to input $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{csc}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{1}{\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x}.$

$f\left(x\right)=|\mathrm{csc}\left(x\right)|$

$f\left(x\right)=|\mathrm{cot}\left(x\right)|$

$f\left(x\right)={2}^{\mathrm{csc}\left(x\right)}$

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{\mathrm{csc}\left(x\right)}{\mathrm{sec}\left(x\right)}$

Graph $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=1+{\mathrm{sec}}^{2}\left(x\right)-{\mathrm{tan}}^{2}\left(x\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ What is the function shown in the graph?

$f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{sec}\left(0.001x\right)$

$f\left(x\right)=\mathrm{cot}\left(100\pi x\right)$

$f\left(x\right)={\mathrm{sin}}^{2}x+{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}x$

## Real-world applications

The function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=20\mathrm{tan}\left(\frac{\pi }{10}x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ marks the distance in the movement of a light beam from a police car across a wall for time $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in seconds, and distance $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right),$ in feet.

1. Graph on the interval $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left[0,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}5\right].$
2. Find and interpret the stretching factor, period, and asymptote.
3. Evaluate $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(1\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(2.5\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and discuss the function’s values at those inputs.

Standing on the shore of a lake, a fisherman sights a boat far in the distance to his left. Let $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ measured in radians, be the angle formed by the line of sight to the ship and a line due north from his position. Assume due north is 0 and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is measured negative to the left and positive to the right. (See [link] .) The boat travels from due west to due east and, ignoring the curvature of the Earth, the distance $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(x\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in kilometers, from the fisherman to the boat is given by the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(x\right)=1.5\mathrm{sec}\left(x\right).$

1. What is a reasonable domain for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(x\right)?$
2. Graph $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ on this domain.
3. Find and discuss the meaning of any vertical asymptotes on the graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(x\right).$
4. Calculate and interpret $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(-\frac{\pi }{3}\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Round to the second decimal place.
5. Calculate and interpret $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}d\left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Round to the second decimal place.
6. What is the minimum distance between the fisherman and the boat? When does this occur?
1. $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(-\frac{\pi }{2},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{2}\right);\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$
2. $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=-\frac{\pi }{2}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=\frac{\pi }{2};\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ the distance grows without bound as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}|x|$ approaches $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{2}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ —i.e., at right angles to the line representing due north, the boat would be so far away, the fisherman could not see it;
3. 3; when $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=-\frac{\pi }{3},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ the boat is 3 km away;
4. 1.73; when $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=\frac{\pi }{6},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ the boat is about 1.73 km away;
5. 1.5 km; when $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x=0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$

A laser rangefinder is locked on a comet approaching Earth. The distance $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in kilometers, of the comet after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ days, for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in the interval 0 to 30 days, is given by $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)=250,000\mathrm{csc}\left(\frac{\pi }{30}x\right).$

1. Graph $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ on the interval $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left[0,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}35\right].$
2. Evaluate $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(5\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and interpret the information.
3. What is the minimum distance between the comet and Earth? When does this occur? To which constant in the equation does this correspond?
4. Find and discuss the meaning of any vertical asymptotes.

A video camera is focused on a rocket on a launching pad 2 miles from the camera. The angle of elevation from the ground to the rocket after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ seconds is $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{120}x.$

1. Write a function expressing the altitude $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(x\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in miles, of the rocket above the ground after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ seconds. Ignore the curvature of the Earth.
2. Graph $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ on the interval $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(0,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}60\right).$
3. Evaluate and interpret the values $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(0\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(30\right).$
4. What happens to the values of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ approaches 60 seconds? Interpret the meaning of this in terms of the problem.
1. $h\left(x\right)=2\mathrm{tan}\left(\frac{\pi }{120}x\right);$
2. $h\left(0\right)=0:\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ after 0 seconds, the rocket is 0 mi above the ground; $h\left(30\right)=2:\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ after 30 seconds, the rockets is 2 mi high;
3. As $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ approaches 60 seconds, the values of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}h\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ grow increasingly large. The distance to the rocket is growing so large that the camera can no longer track it.

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.

so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
