Solutions to the exercises

Exercise 1
a

Period 2 π , amplitude 12 . Window: [ 0 , 4 π ] × [ -15 , 15 ] .

b

Period 1 , amplitude 50 . Window: [ 0 , 2 ] × [ -40 , 60 ] .

c

Period 10 , amplitude 120 . Window [ 0 , 20 ] × [ -120 , 120 ] .

d

Period π , amplitude 20 . Window: [ 0 , 2 π ] × [ -20 , 20 ] .

Exercise 2
a

cos ( 1 2 x + 4 ) = 1 5 gives x = 2 arccos ( 1 5 ) - 8 + k 4 π x = - 2 arccos ( 1 5 ) - 8 + k 4 π or x -5,261 + k 4 π x -10,73 + k 4 π .

b

sin ( π 5 ( x - 2 ) ) = 1 2 gives x = 5 6 + 2 + k 10 x = 25 6 + 2 + k 10 .

c

cos ( 4 x ) = 1 2 3 gives x = 1 24 π + k 1 2 π x = - 1 24 π + k 1 2 π .

d

sin ( 2 π 15 x ) = 1 6 gives 2 π 15 x = a r c sin ( 1 6 ) + k 2 π ( 2 π ) ( 15 ) x = π - a r c sin ( 1 6 ) + k 2 π or x 0,399 + k 15 x 7,100 + k 15 .

Exercise 3
a

B f = [ -10 , 30 ]

b

f ( x ) = 0 gives x = 8 3 + k 8 x = - 8 3 + k 8 .
The zeroes are ( 2 2 3 , 0 ) , ( 5 1 3 , 0 ) , ( 10 2 3 , 0 ) en ( 13 1 3 , 0 ) .

c

2 2 3 x 5 1 3 10 2 3 x 13 1 3 .

Exercise 4
a

Enter: Y1=11+10*sin((2*pi/20)X) with window: 0 X 20 and 0 Y 22 .

b

11 is the elevation of the axis of the wheel and 10 is the radius of the wheel.

c

40 seconds

d

h ( t ) = 18 gives sin ( 2 π 20 t ) = 0 , 7 and from that it follows that t 2,468 + k 40 t 7,532 + k 40 .
So 5,1 seconds higher than 18 m.
