Unit Circle Geometrical figure relating trig functions to specific angles and coordinates
Unit Circle Angle is in radians and measured counterclockwise from 0 radians. Coordinates are always fractions of 1; 1 is the radius of the unit circle
Practice Problem 1 Graph the following equation using only skills from pre-calc: Y=4/(x^2-9) Vertical asymptotes are found by setting denominator equal to 0, then solving for x (x^2-9)=0 (x+3)(x-3)=0 X=3,-3
Practice Problem 1 Y=4/(x^2-9) Vertical asymptotes at x=3,-3 Parent graph of 1/(x^2) – Stretched vertically fourfold Test values on either side of each asymptote X=0, y=?; x=-4, y=?; x=4, y=? (0, -4/9) negative; (-4, 4/5) positive; (4, 4/5) positive
Solution 1
Practice Problem 2 Ratio of donkeys to people in Kazakhstan – 1:3 Donkey population of Kazakhstan in 1900 – 7 Growth rate of people in Kazakhstan How many donkeys were in Kazakhstan in 1999? – Assume that the donkey-people ratio remains constant, as it generally does
Practice Problem 2 Determine human population of Kazakhstan in 1900 – Donkeys/People=1/3 – 7/P=1/3 – P=21 people Use growth equation with variables – y=Ye^kt – y is people in 1999; Y is people in 1900; k is growth rate of people; t is time in years
Practice Problem 2 y=(21)e^(.23857*99) y=379,815,876,900 people – They reproduce rather quickly How many donkeys? – Donkeys/People=1/3 – D/379,815,876,900=1/3 D=126,605,292,300 donkeys in Kazakhstan in 1999
126,605,292,300 DONKEYS!!!
Practice Problem 3 Find the average value of f(x) on the interval [7,20] Given:
Practice Problem 3 Find the value of the integral of f(x) from 7 to 20 in terms of known values
Practice Problem 3 Find the value of the integral of f(x) from 7 to 20 in terms of known values =-(-17)-(-12)=29
Practice Problem 3 Use average value formula: Plug in variables: Now, solve: =1/13(29)= 29/13
