The reciprocal of sine is

arcsin or sin ⁡ − 1 \sin^{-1} sin − 1

The reciprocal of cosine is

arccos or cos ⁡ − 1 \cos^{-1} cos − 1

The reciprocal of tangent is

arctan or tan ⁡ − 1 \tan^{-1} tan − 1

If tan ⁡ θ = 12 5 \tan\theta=\frac{12}{5} tan θ = 5 1 2 , then cot ⁡ θ = \cot\theta= cot θ =

− 12 5 -\frac{12}{5} − 5 1 2

− 5 12 -\frac{5}{12} − 1 2 5

Which is a correct way to solve the equation cosx(2cosx − 3) = 0?

set each factor equal to 0 and solve

distribute cosx into the parentheses

Why doesn't 2cosx − 3 = 0 have solutions?

cos x is never equal to a fraction

Actually, this equation does have a solution, x = π

This equation will have a solution tomorrow.

Choose a good way to start solving this equation tanx sin 2 x = 2 tanx

subtract 2 tanx from the left and then factor tanx out

So tanx sin 2 x = 2 tanx is equivalent to tanx(sin 2 x − 2) = 0 Then tanx = 0 or sin 2 x − 2 = 0, now what?

solutions come only from tanx = 0,

solutions come only from sin 2 x − 2 = 0

solutions come from where sin x is undefined

solutions come from where tan x is undefined

Organize this equation so it can be factored: 1−sin 2 x + sinx = 1

move all to the right: 0 = sin 2 x − sinx

cancel the ones and cancel a sinx

replace sin 2 x with 1 − cos 2 x

use this: 0 = sin 2 x − sinx + 2

To solve the equation sec 2 x − secx = 2

start by subtracting 2 from both sides and then factor

add sec x to both sides and factor

factor out secx and set each factor equal to 2

sec x is never bigger than 1, so there are no solutions
