QUESTION 2

2.1 Solve for xx in the following equations, correct to two decimal places.

2.1.1 2sin⁡x=1.642 \sin x = 1.64

  1. Isolate sin⁡x\sin x.

    sin⁡x=1.642\sin x = \frac{1.64}{2} sin⁡x=0.82\sin x = 0.82
  2. Find the reference angle α\alpha.

    α=arcsin⁡(0.82)\alpha = \arcsin(0.82) α≈55.08∘\alpha \approx 55.08^\circ
  3. Determine the values of xx in the relevant quadrants.

    Since sin⁡x\sin x is positive, xx is in Quadrant I or Quadrant II.
    For Quadrant I:

    x=αx = \alpha x≈55.08∘x \approx 55.08^\circ

    For Quadrant II:

    x=180∘−αx = 180^\circ - \alpha x=180∘−55.08∘x = 180^\circ - 55.08^\circ x≈124.92∘x \approx 124.92^\circ x≈55.08∘ or x≈124.92∘\boxed{x \approx 55.08^\circ \text{ or } x \approx 124.92^\circ}

    2.1.2 1.53tan⁡(x−15∘)=1\frac{1.53}{\tan(x-15^\circ)} = 1

  4. Isolate tan⁡(x−15∘)\tan(x-15^\circ).

    tan⁡(x−15∘)=1.53\tan(x-15^\circ) = 1.53
  5. Find the reference angle α\alpha.

    α=arctan⁡(1.53)\alpha = \arctan(1.53) α≈56.83∘\alpha \approx 56.83^\circ
  6. Determine the general solution for (x−15∘)(x-15^\circ).

    Since tan⁡\tan is positive, the angle is in Quadrant I or Quadrant III. The general solution for tan⁡\tan covers both.

    x−15∘=56.83∘+k⋅180∘where k∈Zx - 15^\circ = 56.83^\circ + k \cdot 180^\circ \quad \text{where } k \in \mathbb{Z}
  7. Solve for xx.

    x=15∘+56.83∘+k⋅180∘x = 15^\circ + 56.83^\circ + k \cdot 180^\circ x=71.83∘+k⋅180∘x = 71.83^\circ + k \cdot 180^\circ

    For k=0k=0:

    x≈71.83∘x \approx 71.83^\circ

    For k=1k=1:

    x≈71.83∘+180∘=251.83∘x \approx 71.83^\circ + 180^\circ = 251.83^\circ x≈71.83∘ or x≈251.83∘\boxed{x \approx 71.83^\circ \text{ or } x \approx 251.83^\circ}

    2.2 Evaluate without using a calculator: cos⁡45∘sin⁡45∘(1cot⁡230∘)\frac{\cos 45^\circ}{\sin 45^\circ \left(\frac{1}{\cot^2 30^\circ}\right)}

  8. Recall the values of the special angles.

    cos⁡45∘=22\cos 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} sin⁡45∘=22\sin 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} cot⁡30∘=3\cot 30^\circ = \sqrt{3}
  9. Substitute the values into the expression.

    2222(1(3)2)\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \left(\frac{1}{(\sqrt{3})^2}\right)}
  10. Simplify the expression.

    2222(13)\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}

    Cancel out the common term 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}:

    113\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} =3= 3 3\boxed{3}

    2.3 If 13cos⁡θ+12=013 \cos \theta + 12 = 0 and 180∘≤θ≤360∘180^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ, calculate with the aid of diagram, but without using a calculator, the value of: 1sec⁡θ+sin⁡θ\frac{1}{\sec \theta} + \sin \theta

  11. Solve for cos⁡θ\cos \theta.

    13cos⁡θ=−1213 \cos \theta = -12 cos⁡θ=−1213\cos \theta = -\frac{12}{13}
  12. Determine the quadrant for θ\theta.

    Since cos⁡θ\cos \theta is negative and 180∘≤θ≤360∘180^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ, θ\theta must be in Quadrant III.

  13. Draw a right-angled triangle in Quadrant III.

    In Quadrant III, xx is negative, yy is negative, and rr is positive.
    We have cos⁡θ=xr=−1213\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = -\frac{12}{13}. So, x=−12x = -12 and r=13r = 13.
    Use the Pythagorean theorem to find yy:

    x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2 (−12)2+y2=132(-12)^2 + y^2 = 13^2 144+y2=169144 + y^2 = 169 y2=169−144y^2 = 169 - 144 y2=25y^2 = 25

    Since yy is negative in Quadrant III, y=−5y = -5.

  14. Calculate sin⁡θ\sin \theta and 1sec⁡θ\frac{1}{\sec \theta}.

    sin⁡θ=yr=−513=−513\sin \theta = \frac{y}{r} = \frac{-5}{13} = -\frac{5}{13}

    Recall that 1sec⁡θ=cos⁡θ\frac{1}{\sec \theta} = \cos \theta.
    So, 1sec⁡θ=−1213\frac{1}{\sec \theta} = -\frac{12}{13}.

  15. Substitute the values into the expression 1sec⁡θ+sin⁡θ\frac{1}{\sec \theta} + \sin \theta.

    1sec⁡θ+sin⁡θ=cos⁡θ+sin⁡θ\frac{1}{\sec \theta} + \sin \theta = \cos \theta + \sin \theta =−1213+(−513)= -\frac{12}{13} + \left(-\frac{5}{13}\right) =−1213−513= -\frac{12}{13} - \frac{5}{13} =−1713= -\frac{17}{13} −1713\boxed{-\frac{17}{13}}

    QUESTION 3

    3.1 KLMN is a parallelogram with KN || LM and LK || MN. Using the diagram above, prove the theorem which states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

    Given: KLMN is a parallelogram.
    This implies that KN || LM and KL || NM.

    To Prove: KL = NM and KN = LM.

    Construction: Draw diagonal LN.

    Proof:
    Consider △KLN\triangle KLN and △MNL\triangle MNL.

    1. ∠KLN=∠MNL\angle KLN = \angle MNL (Alternate interior angles, since KL || NM and LN is a transversal).
    2. ∠KNL=∠MLN\angle KNL = \angle MLN (Alternate interior angles, since KN || LM and LN is a transversal).
    3. LN = NL (Common side to both triangles).

    Therefore, △KLN≅△MNL\triangle KLN \cong \triangle MNL (Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion).

    Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal:

    • KL = NM (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)
    • KN = LM (Corresponding sides of congruent triangles)

    Thus, the opposite sides of parallelogram KLMN are equal.
